Colonization and coexistence of non‐native ants on a model Atlantic island
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 10, Page 1278-1288, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Aims Colonization by non‐native ants represents one of the gravest potential threats to island ecosystems. It is necessary to identify general mechanisms by which non‐native species are able to colonize and persist in order to inform future prevention and management. We studied a model‐island assemblage of 17 non‐native ant species with aim of

Testing the predictive value of functional traits in diverse ant communities
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023 Identifying and associating morphological features with ecological traits are essential for understanding the connection between organisms and their roles in the environment. Using data on the relative trophic position of 592 ant (Formicidae) samples comprising 393 species from 11 subfamilies and 19 widely distributed communities, we tested the extent ...
