• Ants defend coffee from berry borer colonization (2013, methodology): “Instead, for P. simplex and P. ejectus , we determined occupation by removing all dead twigs on the coffee bush and searching these for ant nests within the hollow branches (e.g. Philpott and Foster 2005).”
• Biodiversity in tropical agroforests and the ecological role of ants and ant diversity in predatory function (2006, background): “In fact, recent studies show twig-nesting ants may be prevented from establishing in lowshade coffee habitats due to limited twig number or diversity ( Armbrecht & Perfecto, 2003; Philpott & Foster, 2005 ).”
• An Ant Mosaic Revisited: Dominant Ant Species Disassemble Arboreal Ant Communities but Co‐Occur Randomly (2007, background): “Few mosaic studies have considered the importance of noncompetitive interactions such as nest site limitation, even though these factors can be critically important in ant assemblages (e.g., Majer 1976a, b, c; Philpott & Foster 2005).”
• Complex Ecological Interactions in the Coffee Agroecosystem (2014, background): “The response on A. latifolia trees, but not the Inga spp. shade trees examined, is likely because ant colonies are larger and stronger on those trees (Philpott et al. 2005).”
• The contribution of cacao agroforests to the conservation of lower canopy ant and beetle diversity in Indonesia (2007, background): “…habitat homogeneity can drive biodiversity loss as the availability of nesting sites declines (Klein et al. 2002 for bees; Armbrecht et al. 2004 and Philpott and Foster 2005 for ants) and important food plants disappear (Perfecto et al. 2003 for fruit-feeding butterflies; Waltert et al. 2004 for…”
• The invasive Yellow Crazy Ant and the decline of forest ant diversity in Indonesian cacao agroforests (2008, background): “The thinning of tree stands may have affected the competitive dominance among ant species by decreasing the availability of canopy-related nesting sites and food resources (Philpott and Foster 2005).”
