Abstract
This research was studied vertically in 200 m sections in different habitats of the Ganos Mountains, at altitudes from sea level to 924 m. During the research, material was collected from 31 different localities and 10 different habitats, and 23 genera and 66 species belonging to 4 subfamilies (Ponerinae, Myrmicinae, Dolichoderinae, Formicinae) were identified. Of the 66 species identified, 3 (Aphaenogaster ovaticeps, Messor minor, Carebara oertzeni) are new records for the Turkish fauna, and 3 species (Messor ebeninus, Tapinoma simrothi, Proformica striaticeps) are new records for the Thrace Region. In vertical studies conducted on the southern and northern slopes of the Ganos Mountains, the number of species was found to be low at altitudes between 0-200 m (24 species), reaching the highest numerical value between 200-800 m (47 species), and at altitudes from 800 m to the summit the number of species decreased again (26 species).
