Subspecies
Synonyms

Collingwood (1979) - It is normally a woodland bark-inhabiting species but occasionally nests under stones or inside acorns. Its morphology and biology in France where it is common, has been intensively studied by Plateaux (1970). The species is normally monogynous with between 100 and 200 workers. Is is somewhat more aggressive than Leptothorax acervorum and despite its small size will attack and sting freely. Alate queens and males are developed during July and flights occur during early August.

Identification

Csösz et al. (2015) - A member of the nylanderi species-complex. Temnothorax nylanderi has moderately long spines (SPST/CS) and therefore cannot be confused with long-spined Temnothorax lichtensteini. Non-overlapping SPBA/CS ratios help to distinguish it from T. flavicornis. Based on salient features, T. nylanderi might be misidentified as Temnothorax parvulus, but a simple ratio (SPTI/CS) reliably separate these species on the level of nest sample means. Temnothorax nylanderi can also be safely separated from weakly sculptured, lightly colored Temnothorax tergestinus using the ratios PoOC/CL and SPWI/CS.

Collingwood (1979) - Yellow to pale yellowish brown, the head sometimes darker, broadly infuscate on the first gaster segment. Antennae including clubs and legs concolorous with the rest of the body. Head longitudinally striate. Mesosoma finely rugose, gaster smooth. Legs without erect hairs. Antennae twelve segmented; mesopropodeal impression distinct and clearly visible in side view. Length: 2.3-3.4 mm. This species is immediately distinguishable from all other North European Leptothorax with twelve segmented antennae in the worker caste by the distinct mesopropodeal suture seen as a clear depression in the dorsal profile.

Keys including this Species

Distribution

Central and South Europe from Spain to Caucasus, north to South Sweden (Collingwood 1979).

This species is known from Central and West Europe: Italy, Austria, Germany and further west; only two species from the Temnothorax nylanderi species-complex occur in Bulgaria, Temnothorax crasecundus and Temnothorax crassispinus (Csősz et al., 2015), thus this species is absent from Bulgaria (Lapeva-Gjonova & Antonova, 2022).

Biology

This species is a host for the ant Temnothorax gordiagini (a dulotic parasite) (Buschinger et al., 1983) (T. nylanderi as the host of Temnothorax gordiagini had been suggested by Soudek, 1925, (cited in Buschinger et al., 1983) though this has never been confirmed and was probably a misidentification). It is also a host for Temnothorax microcellatus (a dulotic parasite) (Báthori et al., 2024).

Foraging

Glaser and Grüter 2018. Figure 1. a. A tandem run of two Temnothorax nylanderi workers (photo by C. Grüter). b. Marked workers collecting 1 M sucrose solution (photo by S. Glaser).

Glaser and Grüter (2018) studied how well individuals performed tandem running, including hypothesizing that longer distances would be more problematic in terms of foraging efficiency and success. They found that experience was an important element of successful tandem running. Foragers were more likely to initiate and sustain a tandem run than less experienced workers. Foraging distance was not unduly problematic but pairs progressed faster, and followers searched longer for their partner after a loss of contact when visiting more distant food sources.

Castes

Intercastes

A feature of T. nylanderi is the study of rare morphological anomalies that are intermediate between the queen and worker phenotypes (Plateaux 1970). A large number of such "intercastes" were investigated with multivariate morphometry (Okada et al. 2013), showing how caste-specific modules (i.e. specific to workers and winged queens) are shuffled to give a mosaic phenotype (intercastes).

Intercastes collected from many colonies of T. nylanderi (worker and winged queen at extremities; not to scale). From Plateaux (1970)
