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 ...

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Shade trees provide important ecological services that support productivity in coffee agroforestry systems. Processes such as biological nitrogen fixation play a key role in this. Less is known, however, about potential indirect mechanisms by which nitrogen fixation supports coffee productivity.

Ecography, Volume 2022, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Tropical ecosystems are often biodiversity hotspots, and invertebrates represent the main underrepresented component of diversity in large‐scale analyses. This problem is partly related to the scarcity of data widely available to conduct these studies and the lack of systematic organization of knowledge about invertebrates' distributions in ...

Trakya University Journal of Natural Sciences, 2016 Strumigenys is one of the most speciose genera in the world. Although the genus is speciose, still they are recorded occasionally because of their small size, cryptic lifestyle and slow movements of its members which also stand still when disturbed.
