In spite of the ecological dominance of Neotropical ants and termites, little is understood about how their interactions influence their species richness and distribution. We surveyed ground-dwelling termite and ant species in a primary rainforest in

Ants of the genus Pheidole are abundant and hyperdiverse, particularly in Neotropical rainforests. Very little is known, however, about the degree of ecological and behavioral differentiation of coexisting species comprising Pheidole communities. Add

Publikováno v: Biotropica. 41:633-641

Litter-nesting ants are diverse and abundant in tropical forests, but the factors structuring their communities are poorly known. Here we present results of the first study to examine the impact of natural variation in flooding on a highly diverse (2
