• Forecasting the future of biodiversity: a test of single- and multi-species models for ants in North America (2011, background): “…both patterns of ant species richness and geographic ranges of individual species are related to climate and in particular temperature, precipitation, and humidity (Davidson 1977, Bestelmeyer 2000, Kaspari et al. 2000, 2004, Retana and Cerdá 2000, Sanders et al. 2003, 2007, Dunn et al. 2009).”
• Trade‐offs in community ecology: linking spatial scales and species coexistence (2004, background): “Empirical evidence for such trade-offs include tradeoffs between resource use and thermal tolerance (ants: Bestelmeyer 2000; invertebrates: Bengtsson 1991) or desiccation tolerance (marine invertebrates: Connell 1961; mosquito larvae: Juliano et al. 2002).”
• Ant Thermal Tolerance: A Review of Methods, Hypotheses, and Sources of Variation (2021, background): “The aptly named microclimate is thought by many to be more important for organisms like ants as it represents the localized abiotic conditions that individuals actually experience (Kaspari 1993, Perfecto and Vandermeer 1996, Bestelmeyer 2000).”
• Ants, altitude and change in the northern Cape Floristic Region (2006, background): “In general, abundance and richness increase with an improvement in habitat quality, which is often associated with increasing temperature (e.g. Andersen, 1995; Cerdá et al., 1998; Bestelmeyer, 2000) and then decline as habitats become more stressful (but see also Parr et al.”
• ROLE OF ABIOTIC FACTORS IN GOVERNING SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INVASION: A TEST WITH ARGENTINE ANTS (2002, background): “The key role of abiotic factors in Argentine ant invasions reflects their central importance in determining community-level patterns in ants generally (Hölldobler and Wilson 1990, Andersen 1992, Cerda et al. 1997, Bestelmeyer 2000, Kaspari et al. 2000, Johnson 2001).”
• Temperature-mediated coexistence in temperate forest ant communities (2009, background): “In addition to being structured by competition, resource access in ants is shaped by the abiotic environment, and in particular, temperature (e.g., Bestelmeyer, 2000; Cerdá et al., 1997; 1998a).”
