The dynamics of desert ecosystems control levels of resources that are essential to the
survival of desert biotas. Because precipitation is both low and relatively unpredictable in …

A system is proposed whereby ant functional groups are used as structural attributes to
classify ninety-four Australian ant communities in a manner analogous to the classification of …

Ant distribution and behavioural dominance is examined at nine sites along an elevational
gradient (1400–2600 m) in south eastern Arizona, in order to classify North American …

Ants are widely distributed in both tropics and temperate regions at different altitudes. They
are both scavengers and predators, and serve as indicators of climate change at micro and …

Farmers are being encouraged to redress the problems of land degradation by
implementing a series of changes in their land management. However, there are few tools to …

We examined the responses of a ground‐foraging ant community to a gradient of land‐use
intensity in a grazing agroecosystem in the Chaco of northern Argentina. The gradient …

Influences of ant behavior on short—and long—term fate of elaiosome—bearing seeds were
investigated in fire—prone sclerophyll vegetation neary Sydney, New South Wales. The …

The relative abundances of ant species captured in pitfall traps was compared with those
obtained by direct counts in quadrats at a savanna site in Kakadu National Park, Northern …

This paper examines the relationship between species and genus richness in local
Australian ant faunas, in order to test the validity of the proposition that higher-taxon …

Logging and habitat conversion create hotter microclimates in tropical forest landscapes,
representing a powerful form of localised anthropogenic climate change. It is widely …
