摘要摩洛哥蚂蚁区系丰富，已知种类237种，其中14种（5.9%）是广泛分布的流浪蚁，被认为是摩洛哥的非本地物种。在本研究中，我们收集了13个摩洛哥地区的城市地区的蚂蚁，研究非本地物种的传播。我们发现，非本地蚂蚁的已知分布正在沿着摩洛哥的地中海和大西洋海岸扩展。我们确认了法老蚁Monomorium pharaonis在摩洛哥的存在，在摩洛哥蚂蚁名单上遗漏了多年之后。
ABSTRACT Morocco has a rich ant fauna with 237 known species, of which 14 (5.9%) are widespread tramp ants considered non-native in Morocco. In the present study, we collected ants in urban areas of 13 Moroccan regions to examine the spread of non-native species. We found that the known distribution of non-native ants is expanding along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts of Morocco. We confirmed the presence of the pharaoh ant, Monomorium pharaonis, in Morocco, after many years of omission from the lists of Moroccan ants.
