Ant diversity by country
Species Richness by Country
Data sources: AntKeeping.info, AntWiki, AntMaps.org | 0/0
Note: Percentages show each country's count relative to global totals (~14,000 species, ~340 genera, 17 subfamilies). These are non-cumulative: a single taxon may be recorded in multiple countries.
Biogeographic realms follow WWF Terrestrial Ecoregions. Note: Mexico spans the Nearctic-Neotropical interface (Dáttilo et al. 2020).
