International Journal of Ecophysiology, 2022 One of the diversity of subfamily level ants is Myrmicinae. Myrmicinae are distributed throughout the world in all major habitats except ecosystem areas with low diversity indicating pressure that will affect ecosystem quality. The types of ants obtained from the location of the USU campus found 9 species consisting of 5 subfamilies as follows ...

Can Monoculture Timber Plantations Conserve More Ant Communities Than Adjacent Natural Forests?
Diversity, 2022 Understanding where biodiversity is and how it is distributed is crucial to conserving vulnerable and dynamic ecosystems. Although natural forests support greater diversity and are vital for the conservation of organisms, recent studies have argued that ...

Ants mediate the structure of phytotelm communities in an ant-garden bromeliad [PDF]
, 2010 The main theories explaining the biological diversity of rain forests often confer a limited understanding of the contribution of interspecific interactions to the observed patterns.

Experimental warming weakens positive plant diversity effects on pitfall trap sampled ant diversity
Soil Organisms, 2022 Ants are important components of many terrestrial ecosystems because of their high abundance, their central position in food webs, and because they can strongly influence ecosystem properties such as soil aeration, nutrient cycling, and plant community ...

An ant-plant mutualism induces shifts in the protist community structure of a tank-bromeliad [PDF]
, 2012 Although ants may induce community-wide effects via changes in physical habitats in terrestrial environments, their influence on aquatic communities living in plant-held waters remains largely underexplored.

Arboreal ant colonies as 'hot-points' of cryptic diversity for myrmecophiles: the weaver ant Camponotus sp. aff. textor and its interaction network with its associates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 INTRODUCTION:Systematic surveys of macrofaunal diversity within ant colonies are lacking, particularly for ants nesting in microhabitats that are difficult to sample.

Ant-Colony-Based Multiuser Detection for MC DS-CDMA Systems [PDF]
, 2007 In this contribution we present a novel ant colony optimization (ACO) based multi-user detector (MUD) designed for synchronous multi-carrier direct sequence code division multiple access (MC DSCDMA) systems. The operation of the ACO-based MUD is based on
