RESOURCE‐DEPENDENT INTERACTIONS AND THE ORGANIZATION OF DESERT ANT COMMUNITIES (2003, background): “—Aphaenogaster (formerly Novomessor) cockerelli and Myrmecocystus depilis and M. mimicus are widely distributed throughout the deserts in the southwestern USA, from eastern California to western Texas and into northern Mexico (Wheeler and Creighton 1934, Creighton 1955, Snelling 1976, Johnson 2000).”
Development of harvester ant colonies alters soil chemistry (2004, background): “P. barbatus is a large, seed-eating ant species that occurs throughout south-central North America (Cole, 1968; Johnson, 2000a,b).”
Ecological morphospace of New World ants (2006, background): “Head width, in particular, is often used as a measure of feeding mode and overall size as it contains information about covariates such as mandible size, cephalic musculature, and mandibular glands (Davidson, 1977; Wilson, 1978; Bernstein, 1979; Morton & Davidson, 1988; Kaspari, 1993; Byrne, 1994; J”
