• Ants as indicators of environmental change and ecosystem processes (2017, background): “As ant activity and walking speed positively correlate with temperature (Hurlbert et al., 2008; Jayatilaka et al., 2011), the timespan between setting the bait and attracting the highest number of ant species is shorter in environments with higher ambient temperatures than in cooler areas (Vogt et…”
• Coping with the cold: minimum temperatures and thermal tolerances dominate the ecology of mountain ants (2017, background): “, 2014) and temperature has been shown to positively influence ant running speed (Hurlbert et al., 2008; Kaspari et al., 2016).”
