Soil Temperatures Predict Smaller Niche Shifts Than Air Temperatures in Introduced Ant Species

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Introduced species can establish in climates outside of their native niche and undergo ‘niche shifts’. However, studies of niche shifts generally rely on above‐ground climate data, neglecting the potential buffering effect of ground‐level or soil climates. Location Global. Time Period Present. Major Taxa Studied Formicidae.

Common ant species dominate morphospace: unraveling the morphological diversity in the Brazilian Amazon Basin

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2024, Issue 11, November 2024.
Rare plant and vertebrate species have been documented to contribute disproportionately to the total morphological structure of species assemblages. These species often possess morphologically extreme traits and occupy the boundaries of morphological space.

Specialist or generalist? Feeding ecology of the Malagasy poison frog Mantella aurantiaca [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We studied the diet of a population of free-ranging Mantella aurantiaca, an alkaloid-containing poison frog from Madagascar. As in other poison frogs, this species is thought to sequester alkaloids from arthropod prey.

The impacts of fire vary among vertical strata: Responses of ant communities to long‐term experimental burning

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 34, Issue 7, October 2024.
Abstract Fire is a powerful tool for conservation management at a landscape scale, but a rigorous evidence base is often lacking for understanding its impacts on biodiversity in different biomes. Fire‐induced changes to habitat openness have been identified as an underlying driver of responses of faunal communities, including for ants.

First survey of the ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of Piauí: filling a major knowledge gap about ant diversity in Brazil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Piauí, a Brazilian Northeast state, has been considered one of the most important regions for the presence of new taxa in ants globally, especially considering the ecosystems’ diversity formed by the transition of the three biomes in the state, the ...

An ant‐mimicking ant on an oceanic archipelago: Camponotus guanchus mimics Crematogaster alluaudi—An analogy with the situation of Camponotus lateralis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
Two Canarian ant species, Camponotus guanchus Santschi, 1908 (a, c) and Crematogaster alluaudi Emery, 1893 (b, d), occur in two color‐morphs, one with a reddish (a, b) and the other with a blackish (c, d) mesosoma. Color morphs are geographically non‐randomly distributed but Ca.
