• SPATIAL HABITAT HETEROGENEITY INFLUENCES COMPETITION AND COEXISTENCE IN AN AFRICAN ACACIA ANT GUILD (2003, background): “By contrast, there were no significant differences in average colony size between mound and matrix areas for T. penzigi perhaps because this species destroys host tree nectaries (Young et al. 1997, Palmer et al. 2002) and does not forage off of host trees.”
• NEST‐SITE LIMITATION IN COFFEE AGROECOSYSTEMS: ARTIFICIAL NESTS MAINTAIN DIVERSITY OF ARBOREAL ANTS (2005, background): “This plot further allowed us to examine if particular ant species were better competitors or better colonizers in high- or low-shade sites (see Savolainen and Vepsaelaeinen 1988, Hölldobler and Wilson 1990, Stanton et al. 2002 for similar characterizations).”
• Wars of attrition: colony size determines competitive outcomes in a guild of African acacia ants (2004, background): “Workers of this species destroy lateral and terminal meristems on branches of A. drepanolobium (Young et al. 1997), increasing branch number and canopy density on their host trees (Stanton et al. 2002).”
