Litter-twig dwelling ant species richness and predation potential within a forest fragment and neighboring coffee plantations of contrasting habitat quality in Mexico (2003, background): “Litter and ground dwelling ants are useful in terms of biodiversity and conservation (Kaspari, 1993, 1996; Armbrecht and Ulloa-Chacón, 1999; Agosti et al., 2000; Alonso and Agosti, 2000; Ward, 2000).”
Evaluation of Sampling Methods and Species Richness Estimators for Ants in Upland Ecosystems in Florida (2005, background): “At the local (ecosystem) scale, this level of inventory completeness is equal to or better than similar studies conducted in tropical rainforests (Longino and Colwell 1997, Fisher 1999a, Agosti et al. 2000a, b).”
Long‐term fire exclusion and ant community structure in an Australian tropical savanna: congruence with vegetation succession (2006, methodology): “Functional group composition (following Andersen, 1995) varies markedly between forest and savanna habitats in monsoonal Australia (Andersen, 2000b).”
Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) pass the bioindicator scorecard (2007, background): “However, there are less examples from the more temperate regions of Europe and North America (but see PUSKAR 1978, KASPARI & MAJER 2000, GOMEZ & al.”
