Ant diversity shows a variety of patterns across elevational gradients, though the patterns
and drivers have not been evaluated comprehensively. In this systematic review and …

Ant communities in tropical forests may be governed by varying assembly mechanisms,
depending on the particular habitat investigated. We compared phylogenetic diversity and …

Aim A crucial step to protecting biodiversity is assessing species diversity and endemism.
We delineate spatial patterns of diversity in Malagasy ants on a phylogenetic and taxonomic …

Army ants are a charismatic group of organisms characterized by a suite of morphological
and behavioral adaptations that includes obligate collective foraging, frequent colony …

Martialinae are pale, eyeless and probably hypogaeic predatory ants. Morphological
character sets suggest a close relationship to the ant subfamily Leptanillinae. Recent …

To examine the relationships of geographically isolated paleo-island populations of
Pogonomyrmex badius (Latreille 1802) in Florida we generated a phylogeographic …

Ants in the N eotropical genus S ericomyrmex M ayr cultivate fungi for food. Both ants and
fungi are obligate, coevolved symbionts. The taxonomy of S ericomyrmex is problematic …

Understanding patterns of species diversity relies on accurate taxonomy which can only be
achieved by long‐term natural history research and the use of complementary information to …

One approach to prioritise conservation efforts is to identify hotspots that are either species-
rich or that harbour a high proportion of narrow-ranged species with varying functional roles …

Island biodiversity has long fascinated biologists as it typically presents tractable systems for
unpicking the eco‐evolutionary processes driving community assembly. In general, two …
