• A probabilistic model for analysing species co-occurrence (2013, background): “For bog ants, Gotelli & Ellison (2002a) report small or non-significant matrix-wide C-scores (i.e. indicating positive or random associations ).”
• Neotropical savanna ants show a reversed latitudinal gradient of species richness, with climatic drivers reflecting the forest origin of the fauna (2018, background): “Ant diversity also often declines with increasing latitude at regional scales (Cushman, Lawton, & Manly, 1993; Gotelli & Ellison, 2002; Chaladze, 2012; but see Pfeiffer, Chimedregzen, & Ulykpan, 2003).”
• MaxEnt versus MaxLike: empirical comparisons with ant species distributions (2013, methodology): “Ant locality records were derived from field collections (Ellison et al. 2002, 2012, Gotelli and Ellison 2002) and museum records with accurate, georeferenced, collection data (Ellison et al. 2012).”
• Bayesian inference in ecology (2004, background): “The conclusion is that in repeated sampling (which is unlikely, as collecting Ant species richness was sampled in bogs and surrounding forests at 22 sites in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont (USA).”
• Uncommon specialization in a mutualism between a temperate herbaceous plant guild and an ant: are Aphaenogaster ants keystone mutualists? (2009, background): “First, A. rudis is one of the most common and abundant epigenic ants in North American temperate deciduous forests (Culver 1974, Lynch 1981, Gotelli and Ellison 2002).”
• Ants, altitude and change in the northern Cape Floristic Region (2006, background): “Gotelli & Ellison (2002) showed that ant density in New England bogs and forests was related to vegetation complexity (and light availability), with higher density (and subsequently higher species richness) in the more complex forests, while Parr et al. (2004) showed that bare ground and litter…”
