• Seasonal Foraging Activity and Bait Preferences of Ants on Barro Colorado Island, Panama1 (2002, background): “This is in contrast to the pattern seen by Kaspari and Weiser (2000), who found that total ant activity on baits placed at breast height on trees during the wet season was 20 percent higher than during the dry season.”
• Complex Ecological Interactions in the Coffee Agroecosystem (2014, background): “…in vegetation (Kaspari & Weiser 2000, Albrecht & Gotelli 2001, Ribas et al. 2003), temperature or moisture conditions (Perfecto & Vandermeer 1996, Kaspari & Weiser 2000), changes in nest availability (Armbrecht et al. 2004), and changes in food availability and distribution (Kaspari et al. 2000,…”
• Determinants of the detrital arthropod community structure: the effects of temperature and resources along an environmental gradient (2011, background): “For example, humidity and temperature control the timing and duration of ant foraging activity at small spatial scales (e.g. 1–10 m2) (Kaspari 1993, Kaspari and Weiser 2000) and rates of nest emigration/ relocation in some forest ant species (Smallwood 1982).”
• Effects of Management Intensity and Season on Arboreal Ant Diversity and Abundance in Coffee Agroecosystems (2004, background): “2000) and ants are generally more abundant in the wet season (Alonso 1998; Kaspari and Weiser 2000).”
• Biodiversity in tropical agroforests and the ecological role of ants and ant diversity in predatory function (2006, background): “Physiological factors include both microclimatic changes affecting forest-adapted species (e.g. Nestel & Dickschen, 1990; Perfecto & Vandermeer, 1996 ) and changes in temperature and moisture affecting dehydration-susceptible litter ants ( Kaspari & Weiser, 2000 ).”
