The response of ants to climate change

Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 10, Page 3188-3205, May 2022., 2022
In this review, we synthesise available literature on how climate change drivers will affect ants from the individual to the community. We highlight that eusociality may confer greater adaptation and tolerance to climate change than for solitary organisms.

The effect of fire on ant assemblages does not depend on habitat openness but does select for large, gracile predators

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Ecosystems can respond in a variety of ways to the same agent of disturbance. In some contexts, fire causes large and long‐lasting changes to ecological communities. In others, fire has a limited or short‐lived impact on assemblages of animals and plants. Understanding why this occurs is critical if we are to manage these kinds of disturbances

Effects of Habitat Conversion on Ant Functional Groups: A Global Review

Sociobiology, 2021
Conversion of natural to anthropogenic environments affects biodiversity, and the understanding of these impacts may be improved by assessing how different functional groups respond to such land conversion.

First record of Camponotus textor Forel, 1899 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from Ecuador [PDF]

Check List
We present the first records of Camponotus textor Forel, 1899 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from Ecuador, representing the first records from west of the Andes. We explore the use of participatory science data from iNaturalist and scienti&

Phylogenetic Comparison of Endosymbionts with Their Host Ants Based on Molecular Evidence [PDF]

, 1999
Some Formicid ants have symbiotic intracellular bacteria in the epithelial cells of their midgut. These endosymbionts are believed to be derived from a common ancestor.

Asian needle ant (Brachyponera chinensis) and woodland ant responses to repeated applications of fuel reduction methods

Ecosphere, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2019., 2019
Abstract Ants (Formicidae: Hymenoptera) are important components of forest ecosystems and can be affected by fuel reduction forest management practices. We assessed the impact of repeated applications of fuel reduction treatments on abundance and diversity of ants within upland mixed‐hardwood forests in the Southern Appalachian Mountains in North ...

Ants as ecological indicators of rainforest restoration: Community convergence and the development of an Ant Forest Indicator Index in the Australian wet tropics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 20, Page 8442-8455, October 2017., 2017
We show that ant communities at rainforest sites undergoing restoration show strong convergence with those of mature rainforest. We confirm the utility of using ants as indicators of restoration success, and provide a novel index based on the occurrence of targeted indicator species for assessing the efficacy of forest restoration.
