Abstract:
Formica exsecta is a polygynous and polydomous ant species. Undisturbed meadows within the Swiss Nationalpark are very important for the survival of this species. Other data from the Jura mountains show that this species is threatened. This is due to cattle and soil enrichment. Long term studies of the nests within a colony could explain the local strategy of this species and will help us to give recommendations for protection.
