Results of ant collections on Santa Cruz Island within the framework of the 2012 Global Taxonomy Initiative Ant Course at Galápagos (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Bulletin de la Société royale belge d'Entomologie / Bulletin van de Koninklijke Belgische Vereniging voor Entomologie, 150: 250-255.
During a ten-days ant course carried out in November 2012 within the framework of a Belgian Focal
Point to the Global Taxonomy Initiative GTI type 2 grant, eight students and four instructors collected
22 ant species at ten sites distributed along an altitudinal gradient on Santa Cruz Island in the
Galápagos Archipelago (Ecuador). Disturbed and urbanized zones as well as natural areas were
visited. We discuss the results and link the collected species to altitude and vegetation types occurring
on Santa Cruz Island.
