厄瓜多尔被认为是一个生物多样性丰富的国家，但有关其蚂蚁物种的分布和保护的信息很少，而且分散在文献中。在这里，我们回顾了 150 年来已发表的文献，汇编了第一份厄瓜多尔大陆蚂蚁（不包括加拉帕戈斯群岛）的综合物种名录。我们的主要目标是为在线工具（www.theantsofecuador.com）提供支持，并为该国目前正在进行的各种研究举措提供参考。我们在 180 个地点发现了来自 679 种蚂蚁的 2,124 条蚂蚁记录，在 149 篇文章中进行了报道。我们使用该数据库的一个子集（即删除重复项和没有地点信息的记录后留下的 1,111 条记录）来审查该列表所涵盖的厄瓜多尔地区、省份和国家公园。对于热带国家，每种蚂蚁物种的记录数量（平均值 = 1.8，SD = 1.9）和每个地点的蚂蚁物种数量（平均值 = 6.2，SD = 29.7）都非常低。此外，我们列表中的蚂蚁记录偏向于三个省份（奥雷利亚纳，410 条蚂蚁记录和 378 种蚂蚁；苏昆比奥斯，212 和 177 种；皮钦查，129 和 92 种）、一个地区（奥连特，779 条记录和 487 种蚂蚁）和非保护区（777 种蚂蚁记录和 510 种蚂蚁）。厄瓜多尔保护区系统对特有蚂蚁的覆盖率很低。这项研究凸显了该国蚂蚁研究的差距和机遇。
Ecuador is considered a megadiverse country but information on the distribution and conservation of its ant species is scarce and scattered through the literature. Here we review 150 years of published literature to assemble the first comprehensive species list of continental Ecuadorian ants (excluding the Galapagos Islands). Our main goals are to provide support to online tools ( www.theantsofecuador.com ), and to serve as a reference to the various research initiatives currently being done in the country. We found 2,124 ant records, from 679 ant species, in 180 localities, reported in 149 articles. We used a subset of this database (i.e. 1,111 records left after removal of duplicates and records with no locality info) to review the Ecuadorian regions, provinces, and national parks covered by the list. For a tropical country, both the number of records per ant species (mean=1.8, SD=1.9) and the number of ant species per locality (mean=6.2, SD=29.7) are extremely low. Moreover, the ant records in our list are biased towards three provinces (Orellana, 410 ant records and 378 ant spp.; Sucumbios, 212 and 177; Pichincha, 129 and 92), one region (Oriente, 779 records and 487 ant species) and non-protected areas (777 ant records and 510 ant spp.). Endemic ants are poorly covered by the Ecuadorian system of protected areas. This study highlights the gaps and opportunities in ant research for the country.
