Stratification and recovery time jointly shape ant functional reassembly in a neotropical forest
Microhabitat differentiation of species communities such as vertical stratification in tropical
forests contributes to species coexistence and thus biodiversity. However, little is known …

Nutrient use by tropical ant communities varies among three extensive elevational gradients: A cross‐continental comparison
Aim Many studies demonstrate that climate limits invertebrates along tropical elevational
gradients, but we have only a rudimentary understanding of the role of nutrient limitation and …

Species turnover in ant assemblages is greater horizontally than vertically in the world's tallest tropical forest
Abiotic and biotic factors structure species assembly in ecosystems both horizontally and
vertically. However, the way community composition changes along comparable horizontal …

Climate and vegetation structure shape ant communities along elevational gradients on the Colorado Plateau
Terrestrial animal communities are largely shaped by vegetation and climate. With climate
also shaping vegetation, can we attribute animal patterns solely to climate? Our study …

Ground-dwelling arthropods of pinyon-juniper woodlands: Arthropod community patterns are driven by climate and overall plant productivity, not host tree species
Pinyon-juniper (PJ) woodlands have drastically changed over the last century with juniper
encroaching into adjacent habitats and pinyon experiencing large-scale mortality events …

Spatial covariance of herbivorous and predatory guilds of forest canopy arthropods along a latitudinal gradient
In arthropod community ecology, species richness studies tend to be prioritised over those
investigating patterns of abundance. Consequently, the biotic and abiotic drivers of arboreal …

Inter‐specific aggression generates ant mosaics in canopies of primary tropical rainforest
The ant mosaic is a concept of the non‐random spatial distribution of individual ant species
in trees built upon the assumption of interspecific behavioural associations. However, colony …
