Symposium: Use of Pheromones in Tropical Crops: Ants of the Archbold Biological Station, Highlands County, Florida (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

The 102 species of ants known to occur on the Archbold Biological Station in Highlands Co., Florida are listed with annotations on their habitat and microhabitat preferences and timing of nuptial flights. The diversity of the fauna results from the confluence of several biogeographic groups of ants. Several species are endemic to the xeric scrub of central Florida, which was an insular refugium during Pleistocene or Pliocene flooding. About 20 species are exotic, of which 6 have invaded scrub habitats. The invasibility of south Florida to exotic ants and the biogeographic affinities of native ants are discussed.
