Ольхонский регион как часть Восточной Сибири обладает богатыми и уникальными растительными и животными ресурсами благодаря специфическому географическому положению. Муравьи, в свою очередь, являются важной составной часть экосистемы и играют в ней важную роль. В целях исследования экологической роли муравьев-строителей в этом регионе авторы данной статьи обратили внимание на корреляцию между расположением муравейников и видами растений. В районе исследований были выбраны пять пробных площадей (5 м × 5 м), каждая из которых затем была разделена на двадцать пять квадратов (1 м × 1 м). Отмечалось местонахождение каждого муравейника, сооруженного Formica candida, количество, видовой состав и биомасса различных растений в каждом малом квадрате. С использованием матриц случайным образом тестировалась картина распределения муравейников. Корреляцию между растениями и расположением насыпей муравьев проверяли с помощью корреляционного и регрессионного анализа. Результат показал, что пространственное распределение муравейников оказалось случайным. Также было обнаружено, что растения Artemisia frigida, Carex duriuscula и Oxytropis sylvestris имели значительную линейную связь с пространственным распределением муравейников (P < 0,05), предполагается, что пространственное распределение муравейников зависит от пространственного распределения некоторых растений. Авторы связали эту корреляцию с привычками питания и стратегиями старения черного болотного муравья, а также со структурой тканей указанных трех видов растений. Проведенное исследование выявило взаимодействие между муравьем и некоторыми видами растений в Ольхонском регионе и может являться основой для будущих исследований совместной эволюции растительных и животных ресурсов в этой уникальной экосистеме.

Olkhon region in East Siberia has abundant and unique vegetation and animal resource for its peculiar geographic location, including ants. Ant, recognized as ecosystem engineers, has an important role in ecosystem. In order to investigate the ecological role of mound-building ants in this region, we focused our attention on the correlation between the distribution of ant mounds and plant species. Five quadrats (5 m × 5 m) were set up in this region, each of which was then divided into twenty-five quadrats (1 m × 1 m). We collected the location of every Black Bog Ant (Formica candida) mound, the number and biomass of various plants in every small quadrat. Using matrices, we tested the distribution pattern of ant mound randomly. The correlation between plants and ant mound pattern was tested by correlation analysis and regression analysis. The result showed that the spatial distribution of ant mound was random. We also found that Artemisia frigida, Carexduriuscula and Oxytropis sylvesfris had a significant linear relationship with the spatial distribution of ant mound (P < 0.05), suggesting that the spatial distribution of ant mound was dependent on the spatial distribution of some plants. The underlying mechanism was further studied. We attributed this correlation to the feeding habits and foraging strategies of Black Bog Ant and tissue structure of these three plants. Our study figured out the interaction between Black Bog Ant and plant resource in Olkhon region, laying down the foundation for future study on the co-evolution of plant and animal resource in this unique ecosystem.
