Social structure, symbionts and parasites of ant colonies, and local ant fauna were investigated in Indonesia and Malaysia. Ant fauna in Bogor Botanic Gardens, west Java, Indonesia was reported. Even though the Botanical gardens located in the center of city, we collected 216 ant species. Social structure of ponerine ants was investigated, and we found clear relationship between social structure and habitat characteristics : gamergate species (reproduced by mated workers)were common in disturbed area while ergatoid species (reproduced by wingless queens) were common in forests. Furthermore, in Gnamptogenys, gamergate species was collected in humid tropics (West Malaysia and Sumatera) while ergatoid species was found in seasonal tropics (east Java). These relationships between social structure and habitat condition seems to be explained by the frequency of opportunity of colonial fission. Relationship between social structure and symbiont biology was examined for Myrmecina. Morphological and behavioral specialization of symbionts is apparently related to social structure of host ants : ant species with ergatoid queens only have very specialized symbionts.

在印度尼西亚和马来西亚调查了蚁群的社会结构、共生体和寄生虫以及当地的蚂蚁区系。报道了印度尼西亚西爪哇省博戈尔植物园的蚂蚁区系。虽然植物园位于市中心，但共采集到蚂蚁216种。研究表明，工蚁的社会结构与生境特征之间存在明显的关系：在干扰区，由交配的工蚁繁殖的游蚁种较为常见，而由无翅蚁后繁殖的蚁种则在森林中较为常见。此外，在Gnamptogenys中，在潮湿的热带地区（西马来西亚和苏门答腊）收集了gamergate物种，而在季节性热带地区（东爪哇）发现了ergatoid物种。社会结构和栖息地条件之间的这些关系似乎可以用殖民裂变的机会频率来解释。社会结构和共生生物学之间的关系进行了检查Myrmecina。共生体的形态和行为特化显然与宿主蚂蚁的社会结构有关：蚁后的蚂蚁只有非常特化的共生体。
