Journal ArticleDOI
Ant biodiversity and its relationship to ecosystem functioning: a review
TL;DR: The role of ants in ecosystems is discussed in this article, mainly from the perspective of the effects of ground-dwelling ants on soil processes and function, emphasizing their role as ecosystem engineers.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA barcoding for effective biodiversity assessment of a hyperdiverse arthropod group: the ants of Madagascar
TL;DR: It is demonstrated how DNA barcoding helps address the failure of current inventory methods to rapidly respond to pressing biodiversity needs, specifically in the assessment of richness and turnover across landscapes with hyperdiverse taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree heterogeneity, resource availability, and larger scale processes regulating arboreal ant species richness
TL;DR: Two hypotheses linked to the question of why there is local variation in arboreal ant species richness in the Brazilian savanna ('cerrado') are tested, finding that there is a positive relationship between Ant species richness and tree species richness, used as a surrogate of heterogeneity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of forest disturbance on the structure of ground-foraging ant communities in central Amazonia
TL;DR: In this article, the structure of the ground-foraging ant community was compared in four habitats that represented a gradient of disturbance associated with differences in land use, including undisturbed, mature forest, in an abandoned pasture, in a young regrowth forest (situated in a former pasture area), and in an old regrowth forests (established where mature forest was just cleared and abandoned).

TL;DR: The tribal and generic classification of the diverse ant subfamily Ponerinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is revised to reflect recent molecular phylogenetic information and a reappraisal of ponerine morphological diversity.
