• Behavioural plasticity associated with propagule size, resources, and the invasion success of the Argentine ant Linepithema humile (2009, background): “Competition for resources and space is an important factor structuring ant communities (e.g. Hölldobler & Wilson 1990; Sanders & Gordon 2003).”
• Changes in the community structure and diversity of soil invertebrates across the Franz Josef Glacier chronosequence (2008, background): “Soil macrofauna are mainly regulated by bottom-up control (Scheu and Schaefer, 1998; Sanders and Gordon, 2003), and across the chronosequence macroinvertebrate groups usually had their lowest densities in stages 1 and 9 where tree biomass and therefore quantity of resources produced by the trees is…”
• Temperature-mediated coexistence in temperate forest ant communities (2009, background): “…(1990) noted that competition is ‘the hallmark of ant ecology’, and numerous studies have indicated that competition can shape ant communities (Bernstein and Gobbel, 1979; Fellers, 1987; Savolainen and Vepsalainen, 1988; Herbers, 1989; Andersen, 1992; Sanders and Gordon, 2003; Parr et al., 2005).”
• Wars of attrition: colony size determines competitive outcomes in a guild of African acacia ants (2004, background): “Site-dependent variation in competitive outcomes may lead to intransitive competitive hierarchies at larger spatial scales, enhancing overall diversity ( Sanders & Gordon 2003 ).”
• Community organization and species richness of ants (Hymenoptera/Formicidae) in Mongolia along an ecological gradient from steppe to Gobi desert (2003, unknown): “…extensively studied, in America (e.g. Davidson, 1977; Medel & Vásquez, 1994; Whitford et al., 1999; Rojas & Fragoso, 2000; Bestelmeyer & Wiens, 2001; Sanders et al., 2003), Australia (e.g. Andersen, 1995), Africa (e.g. Marsh, 1986; Lindsey & Skinner, 2001), and Europe (e.g. Cerda et al., 1997).”
