Aphid and ant
species have a mutualistic or an obligately mutualistic association in nature
conditions. Many ant species protect soft-bodied aphids with a low level of
defense against their natural enemies. This study was conducted to determine
the associations between aphid and ant species from 2014 to 2015 in the Center
of Çanakkale Province and 12 ant species belonging to 8 genera in
Dolichoderinae, Formicinae and Myrmicinae subfamilies of Formicidae associated
with 16 aphid species were determined. The most encountered ant species
associated with different aphids were Lasius
alienus (Foerster, 1850), Plagiolepis
pygmaea (Latreille, 1798), Camponotus
aethiops Latreille, 1798 and Plagiolepis taurica Santsci, 1920. The most encountered aphid
species associated with different ant species, were; Aphis fabae Scopoli, 1763, Aphis
gossypii Glover, 1877 and Aphis craccivora Koch, 1854. Moreover, Camponotus samius Forel, 1889, Camponotus sanctus Forel, 1904, Crematogaster ionia Forel,
1911 and Pheidole cf.
pallidula (Nylander, 1849) associations with aphids were determined
for the first time in Turkey. Furthermore, Aphis nerii Boyer de Fonscolombe, 1841, Aphis
punicae Passerini, 1863, Aphis umbrella (Börner, 1950), Chaitophorus
leucomelas Koch, 1854, Chromaphis
juglandicola (Kaltenbach, 1843), Panaphis juglandis (Goeze, 1778), Prociphilus
fraxini (Fabricius, 1777) and their associations with different ant species
were determined for the first time in Turkey. Consequently, the recent studies
indicated that aphid-ant associations should be further detailed investigated
locally.

Çanakkale il merkezinde yaprakbitleri (Hemiptera: Aphididae) ile karınca (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) türlerinin yeni ilişki kayıtları

Yaprakbitleri ve karıncalar doğada mutualistik ya da zorunlu mutualistik
bir ilişkiye sahiptir. Birçok karınca türü yumuşak vücutlu ve zayıf bir
savunmaya sahip yaprakbitlerini doğal düşmanlarına karşı korumaktadır.
Çanakkale il merkezinde 2014 ve 2015 yılları arasında yaprakbitleri ve
karıncalar arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek için yürütülen bu çalışmanın
sonucunda Formicidae familyasının Dolichoderinae, Formicinae ve Myrmicinae
altfamilyaları içerisinde bulunan 8 cinse ait, 12 karınca türünün 16 farklı
yaprakbiti ile ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Farklı yaprakbitleri ile ilişkili en
fazla karşılaşılan karınca türleri Lasius
alienus (Foerster, 1850), Plagiolepis
pygmaea (Latreille, 1798), Camponotus
aethiops Latreille, 1798
ve Plagiolepis
taurica Santsci, 1920’dir. Farklı
karınca türleri ile ilişkili en fazla karşılaşılan yaprakbitleri ise Aphis fabae Scopoli, 1763, Aphis gossypii Glover,
1877 ve Aphis craccivora Koch, 1854’dir. Ayrıca Camponotus samius Forel, 1889, Camponotus sanctus Forel, 1904, Crematogaster
ionia Forel, 1911 ve Pheidole cf.
pallidula (Nylander, 1849) karınca türlerinin yaprakbitleri ile
ilişkili olduğu Türkiye’de ilk kez bu çalışma ile belirlenmiştir. Bunlara ilave
olarak belirlenen yaprakbitlerinden Aphis nerii Boyer
de Fonscolombe, 1841, Aphis punicae Passerini, 1863, Aphis umbrella (Börner, 1950), Chaitophorus leucomelas Koch,
1854, Chromaphis juglandicola (Kaltenbach,
1843), Panaphis juglandis (Goeze, 1778), Prociphilus fraxini (Fabricius,
1777)’nin ise karıncalar ile işbirliği içinde olduğu Türkiye’de ilk kez tespit
edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak son çalışmalar yaprakbitleri ve karıncalar arasındaki
ilişkilerin bölgesel olarak daha detaylı araştırılması gerektiğini
göstermektedir.
