Plužina, historický pojem a v přeneseném slova smyslu výrazný krajinný prvek nejen v České republice, ale i v celé střední Evropě, byla do nedávna z pohledu archeologie opomíjenou součástí historické kulturní krajiny. Zájem archeologů se upínal především na intravilán zaniklých vsí. Až díky pronikání metod environmentální archeologie do terénního výzkumu sledujeme v posledním desetiletí soustředění na hospodářské zázemí vesnic reprezentované plužinou. Jde nejen o soudobé metody dálkového průzkumu Země, ale především o kombinované metody datování dosud opomíjených polních systémů. Dalším novým prvkem je detailní rekonstrukce přírodního prostředí středověké a novověké vsi pomocí archeobotanických metod. Projekt "Identifikace a ochrana dochovaných pozůstatků historických plužin" si tak klade za cíl poskytnout informace a vyvinout nástroje směřující k jejich ochraně. Výsledky poskytují podklad pro kvalifikovanou ochranu historických polních systémů, ale i jejich pochopení v kontextu vývoje historické krajiny. Text je přehledem problematiky v rámci současných znalostí o plužině a agrárních terasách a je zaměřen především na poznatky krajinné archeologie a krajinné ekologie. Klíčová slova: terasové pole-plužina-environmentální archeologie-krajinná archeologie-krajinná ekologie.

“…exsecta inhabits open areas in mixed and deciduous forests, mostly forest edges, forest clearings or mountain pastures (Seifert 2000). Large polydomous colonies are known from the Alps, Central Europe, and European Russia which consist of several hundreds of nests (see Markó et al 2012 for a review;Wiezik et al 2017). Usually, nests of F. exsecta are smaller than those of F. pratensis.…”

“…Usually, nests of F. exsecta are smaller than those of F. pratensis. Nest mound diameter ranges from 10 cm in incipient to above 1 m in mature nests (Seifert 2000;Erős et al 2009;Csata et al 2012;Wiezik et al 2017), and nests contain several hundred to several hundred thousand individuals (Sorvari 2009;Wiezik et al 2017). Territories of monodomous colonies are also smaller, than those of F. pratensis, covering from a few square meters to 60 m 2 (Pisarski 1982;Sorvari 2009;Erős et al 2009;Csata et al 2012).…”

“…Territoriality in ants sometimes involves the development of multi-nest polydomous systems, consisting of interrelated nests formed by nest fissions, so-called 'budding', with intense worker and information exchange. The extreme form of such systems, where several hundred or thousands of nests form the cooperative network is called supercolony (Debout et al 2007;Erős et al 2009;Csata et al 2012;Ellis and Robinson 2014;Adams 2016;Schultner et al 2016;Wiezik et al 2017). Such polydomous species efficiently exploit the available food supplies (Debout et al 2007;Erős et al 2009;Csata et al 2012), and because of high worker density, they have a strong negative effect on other ant species (e.g.…”

Living on the Edge: Changes in the Foraging Strategy of a Territorial Ant Species Occurring with a Rival Supercolony – a Case Study

et al. 2020

Territorial strategy in animals is characterized by the monopoly of resources inside a protected area, the territory. The presence of territorial species considerably alters the behavior of co-occurring submissives, as it is known in several submissive ant species living on the territories of red wood ants in temperate regions. On the other hand, as a rule, territorial species cannot share the same territory and usually exclude each other. However, this ‘rule’ is inferred from the almost complete lack of data on the coexistence of rival territorials, and not from observations regarding the effective exclusion or behavioral inhibition of one territorial species by other. In the frame of this study, we investigated the foraging strategy of the territorial red wood ant Formica pratensis that occurred inside a large polydomous system of another territorial ant species, F. exsecta. Formica pratensis colonies outside the supercolony served as control. Within the F. exsecta supercolony, F. pratensis showed the characteristics of a subordinate species characterized by low discovery and exploitation success of artificial food sources. On the contrary, control colonies outside the polydomous system clearly behaved like typical territorials as they successfully monopolized the majority of the baits. In addition, submissive species were more successful around the F. pratensis nests within the supercolony, than outside of it. As suggested by our results, territorial species could co-occur with other territorials given certain plasticity in their behavior and small colony size. Nevertheless, exclusion also happens as proven by our field observations.

“…distribuição espacial de insetos tem sido analisada sistematicamente com vistas a compreender padrões de organização no espaço, envolvendo diferentes níveis taxonômicos, de forma a compreender o estabelecimento de populações em diferentes áreas ou a distribuição da diversidade de espécies(Segev et al 2015, Wiezik et al 2017. Conhecer padrões de organização de espécies no espaço e também no tempo é imprescindível para a compreensão da dinâmica de populações e comunidades e das relações intraespecíficas e tróficas das espécies (Sandoval-Becerra et al 2018).…”
