Ant distribution data
The ant distribution database is a searchable tool that contains distribution and collection records for all ant species in New Zealand (native and exotic), as well as global distribution for invasive ant species.
Each distribution record is linked to the source information (scientific publications, faunal surveys, and institutional collections). Information sheets and distribution maps are supplied for each species.
