Ant–diaspore interactions are directly related to fruit consumption, seed predation and
dispersal, being determinant for the plant fitness. However, although abundant and …

The knowledge of the mechanisms that shape biodiversity–stability relationships is essential
to understand ecological and evolutionary dynamics of interacting species. However, most …

In natural environments, distinct species interact with differing level of specialization, and
thereby generate complex interaction networks. Recent studies have shown that certain …

In this study we assessed the leaf-litter ant community in the Cicuta Forest, a semi-
