چکیده

 مورچه ها اجزای جدایی ناپذیر اکوسیستم­های زمینی هستند و تنوع آنها برای عملکرد و نگهداری بسیاری از اکوسیستم­ها حیاتی است. هدف این تحقیق شناسایی نمونه‌های جمع­آوری شده از زیستگاه­ها و مکان­های مختلف در استان‌های اصفهان و چهارمحال و بختیاری بود. برای جمع­آوری از روش نمونه­برداری مستقیم (جمع­آوری دستی) استفاده شد. تمام نمونه­ها در اتانول 75 درصد نگهداری شدند. در نتیجه فهرستی از 42 گونه مورچه متعلق به 13 جنس از سه زیرخانواده که از 66 محل نمونه­برداری در استان های چهارمحال و بختیاری و اصفهان جمع آوری شده ارائه می­شود. دو گونه Camponotus jaliensis Dalla Torre, 1893 و Tetramorium staerckei Kratochvíl, 1944 برای اولین بار از ایران گزارش شده است. همچنین به ترتیب پانزده و شش گونه برای نخستین بار از استان­های اصفهان و چهارمحال و بختیاری گزارش شده است. نتایج نشانگر آن است که فون مورچه­های ایران غنی است و نیازمند مطالعات فونستیک بیشتر است.

چکیده [English]

Ants are integral components of terrestrial ecosystems, and their diversity is crucial for the functioning and maintenance of many ecosystems. The aim of this study was identifying specimens collected from different habitats and localities in Esfahan and Chaharmahal Va Bakhtiari Provinces. Direct sampling (hand collecting) was used for collecting materials, and all specimens were preserved in 75% ethanol. As a result, a list of 42 identified species belonging to 13 genera of three subfamilies, collected from 66 sampling sites in Chaharmahal Va Bakhtiari and Esfahan Provinces, is given. Two species are recorded for the first time from Iran, namely Camponotus jaliensis Dalla Torre, 1893 and Tetramorium staerckei Kratochvíl, 1944. Also, fifteen and six species are recorded for the first time from Esfahan and Chaharmahal Va Bakhtiari Provinces, respectively. Result showed that the Iranian ant fauna is rich and in need of more faunistic studies.
