    Urban areas may serve as habitat and corridors for dry-adapted, heat tolerant species; an example from ants

    We collected ants from six urban and one forest land-use types in Raleigh, NC to examine the effects of urbanization on species richness and assemblage composition. Since urban areas are warmer (i.e., heat isl...

    Tandem carrying, a new foraging strategy in ants: description, function, and adaptive significance relative to other described foraging strategies

    An important aspect of social insect biology lies in the expression of collective foraging strategies developed to exploit food. In ants, four main types of foraging strategies are typically recognized based o...

    Disruption of ant-seed dispersal mutualisms by the invasive Asian needle ant (Pachycondyla chinensis)

    By disrupting the structure of native ant assemblages, invasive ants can have effects across trophic levels. Most studies to date, however, have focused on the impacts just two species (Linepithema humile and Sol...

    High diversity in an urban habitat: are some animal assemblages resilient to long-term anthropogenic change?

    Urbanization is thought to lead to the loss of biodiversity both because of habitat disturbance and the increased abundance of invasive species. However, most studies of biodiversity in cities are conducted on...

    Global hotspots and correlates of alien species richness across taxonomic groups

    Human-mediated transport beyond biogeographic barriers has led to the introduction and establishment of alien species in new regions worldwide. However, we lack a global picture of established alien species ri...

    Ecological and socio-economic impacts of the red import fire ant, Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), on urban agricultural ecosystems

    The agricultural impacts of the Red Imported Fire Ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren 1972, have been well studied in North America, but have received less emphasis in Asia where the species was first detected in the e...

    Alien ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Mexico: the first database of records

    The synthesis of comprehensive databases on the identity and distributions of alien organisms is a critical step to develo** informed invasion management plans and identifying areas that are data-deficient. ...

    Ant communities in disturbed subtropical landscapes: is climate more important than stochastic processes?

    Functional trait-based approaches have provided advances in the understanding of community assembly rules. Broad generalisations remain, however, limited due to the idiosyncratic nature of taxa and ecosystems,...
