Vertical Stratification Increases the Capacity of Morphological Traits to Predict Trophic Position in Neotropical Ants. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
We use data from 73 Neotropical ant species to examine the strength of associations between nine morphological traits and trophic position. No individual morphological trait explained variation in the trophic position of arboreal species, whereas three traits individually correlated with the trophic position of ground species, but only weakly so ...
