Ранее считалось, что он состоит из одного или двух видов (F. picea и F. candida). Однако молекулярный анализ показал, что в него входят три криптических вида. Один из них – F. picea из Европы, другой – F. candida, известный исключительно из Киргизии, а третий, временно обозначенный как Formica sp., обитает на востоке Евразии: от Китая до Камчатки. До сих пор было неизвестно, каково распределение F. picea и Formica sp. в Сибири, пересекаются ли их ареалы. Мы изучили образцы этого комплекса из Сибири с использованием митохондриальной ДНК и обнаружили, что их ареалы перекрываются. Ареал Formica sp. охватывает юг Западной Сибири, включая Алтай, на восток – до Тихоокеанского побережья. Филогеографической структуры не обнаружено, что указывает на недавнее расселение из одного источника. Мы нашли мало образцов F. picea в Сибири, это свидетельствует, что здесь этот вид встречается редко. Самая восточная находка вида была сделана в Забайкальском крае. F. Picea обитает на торфяных болотах в пределах равнин и травяных сообществах выше линии леса в европейских горах; на Алтае – в горных степях, а в Забайкалье – на влажных участках у речных берегов. Formica sp. Предпочитает сухие степи и низкие берега рек, но избегает болот. Таким образом, оказалось, что F. picea и Formica sp. Отличаются генетически, имеют разные ареалы и биотопические предпочтения по местообитаниям. Это свидетельствует в пользу того, что Formica sp. можно считать отдельным видом.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The black bog ant Formica picea complex is widespread from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts of Eurasia. This complex was earlier believed to consist of one or two species (F. picea and F. candida). However, molecular analysis suggested that it includes three cryptic species. One is F. picea from Europe, another, F. candida, is currently known exclusively from Kyrgyzstan, while the third one, temporarily designated here as Formica sp., inhabits the easternmost part of Eurasia from China to Kamchatka. It is unknown how F. picea and Formica sp. are distributed in Siberia and whether their ranges intersect. Here we studied a sample of this complex from Siberia using mtDNA and found that their ranges overlap. The distribution of Formica sp. extends from the south of West Siberia, including Altai, to China, and the Russian Far East. No phylogeographic structure was detected, suggesting their recent dispersal from a single source. F. picea was found as far as East Siberia, but was relatively rare. While the European and West Siberian populations were genetically closely related, the specimens from Zabaykalsky Krai differed, suggesting a putative East Siberian refugium. We also determined that ecologically F. picea inhabits peat bogs in lowland areas and grassy communities above the tree line in the European mountains; in Altai, it is found in mountain steppes, while in Transbaikalia, in waterlogged areas along riverbanks. Formica sp. thrives in dry steppes and low riverbanks, but avoids bogs. Thus, F. picea and Formica sp. differ genetically, and have different distribution ranges, as well as habitat preferences. This supports the opinion that Formica sp. should be recognized as a distinct species.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Formica picea</kwd><kwd>Formica candida</kwd><kwd>виды-двойники</kwd><kwd>Северная Евразия</kwd><kwd>Сибирь</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Formica picea</kwd><kwd>Formica candida</kwd><kwd>cryptic species</kwd><kwd>Northern Eurasia</kwd><kwd>Siberia</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group xml:lang="en"><funding-statement>The work was funded solely through the budgets of Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institutions: the Institute of Biological Problems of the North FEB RAS (No. 122041900011-9), the Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS (FWNR-2026-0031), and the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals SB RAS (FWGS-2026-0008).
