- Preferences for sugars and amino acids and their conditionality in a diverse nectar‐feeding ant community (2004, background): “Consequently, ant species that commonly collect nectar and honeydew may exhibit higher preferences for sources rich in proteins or amino acids (Kay 2002), which may reflect the nitrogen limitation of their diet ( Yanoviak & Kaspari 2000 ).”
- Environmental rugosity, body size and access to food: a test of the size-grain hypothesis in tropical litter ants (2004, background): “For example, Yanoviak and Kaspari (2000) found that differences in the body size distribution of ant species between canopy and litter habitats were caused by an interaction between organism morphology and environmental characteristics.”
- Seasonal Foraging Activity and Bait Preferences of Ants on Barro Colorado Island, Panama1 (2002, background): “Conversely, canopy ant communities are populated by aggressive, numerically dominant species that from a mosaic of territories (Room 1971; Les- ton 1978; Majer 1976a, b, c; Levings & Trainello 1981; Jackson 1984; Longino & Nadkarni 1990; Andersen 2000; Yanoviak & Kaspari 2000).”
- Ant Activity along Moisture Gradients in a Neotropical Forest1 (2000, background): “The causes of this bimodal distribution in activity (relative to the unimodal distribution of the canopy fauna; Yanoviak & Kaspari 2000) are poorly understood.”
- Ants as indicators of environmental change and ecosystem processes (2017, background): “Additionally, our baiting approach collected ants from round-dwelling assemblages and canopy-dwelling ants may react ifferently and more strongly towards degradation (Floren et al., 002; Klimes et al., 2015; Yanoviak and Kaspari, 2000).”
- Species Turnover and Vertical Partitioning of Ant Assemblages in the Brazilian Amazon: A Comparison of Forests and Savannas 1 (2005, background): “Previous studies in temperate and tropical forests have also indicated a clear differentiation between the ant fauna of the ground and that found in the vegetation (Lynch 1981, Longino & Nadkarni 1990, Brühl et al. 1998, Yanoviak & Kaspari 2000).”
- RESOURCE‐DEPENDENT INTERACTIONS AND THE ORGANIZATION OF DESERT ANT COMMUNITIES (2003, background): “In contrast, in tropical canopies and leaf litter communities, interactions between ant species seem to be independent of resource type (Yanoviak and Kaspari 2000).”
- Temperature-mediated coexistence in temperate forest ant communities (2009, background): “Ants are ubiquitous in most terrestrial ecosystems and, as a result, the factors regulating the structure of ant communities have been well studied (Davidson, 1977; Savolainen and Vepsalainen, 1988; Yanoviak and Kaspari, 2000; Albrecht and Gotelli, 2001; Sanders and Gordon, 2003; Parr et al., 2005).”
- Bottom‐up control and co‐occurrence in complex communities: honeydew and nectar determine a rainforest ant mosaic (2004, background): “Most ants are at least partly carnivorous or scavengers (Stradling 1978), but honeydew and nectar represent key resources for arboreal ant species (Tobin 1995, Davidson 1997, Davidson et al. 2003) and are obviously more predictable than prey (Jackson 1984b, Yanoviak and Kaspari 2000 ).”
