Colonisation by a dominant ant facilitated by anthropogenic disturbance: effects on ant assemblage composition, biomass and resource use (2003, background): “Functional groups of ants, derived from such dominance hierarchies, are expected to respond predictably to different environmental conditions (Andersen 1990) and have been used extensively in Australia to examine the effects of environmental disturbances ranging from mining (Andersen 1993, Read 1996”
Benefit of permanent non-fire refugia for Lepidoptera conservation in fire-managed sites (2007, background): “unburned trees, logs, and surrounding litter where organisms averse to fire, such as specific spiders, ants, other arthropods, and fungi, are likely to persist (York 1999; Andrew et al. 2000; Dahlberg 2002).”
Post‐fire recovery of Mediterranean ground ant communities follows vegetation and dryness gradients (2006, result): “As in other studies (York, 1994, 2000; Andrew et al., 2000; CastañoMeneses & Palacios-Vargas, 2003; Parr et al., 2004), our results suggest that differences in species composition between unburned and burned areas depend on the relative abundance of trophic guilds (Fig.”
