Abstract

Ślęża Landscape Park – a hot-spot of ant biodiversity in Poland (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Research into the myrmecofauna of the Ślęża Landscape Park and its buffer zone, conducted from 2009 to 2012, yielded a total of 52 ant species. This is the highest number of ant species found during a faunal inventory in Poland and Central Europe. The species richness of ants in the research area is 52% of all the species confirmed native to Poland and 85% of all the species recorded in Lower Silesia. Myrmica lonae, Formica lemani and Tetramorium impurum were recorded for the first time from Lower Silesia.
