2015 journal article

Stable isotopes reveal links between human food inputs and urban ant diets

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 282(1806), 20142608.

By: C. Penick n, A. Savage n & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: C. Penick n, A. Savage n & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: urban ecology; nutrition; stable isotopes; New York; ants; Tetramorium
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Carbon Isotopes / analysis; Cities; Diet; Feeding Behavior; Food Chain; Humans; New York City; Nitrogen Isotopes / analysis
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the degree urban ants exploit human resources changes across the city and among species, and this variation could play a key role in community structure and ecosystem processes where human and animal food webs intersect. (via Semantic Scholar)

2014 journal article

Ecologists, educators, and writers collaborate with the public to assess backyard diversity in The School of Ants Project

ECOSPHERE, 5(7).

By: A. Lucky n, A. Savage n, L. Nichols n , C. Castracani *, L. Shell n, D. Grasso *, A. Mori *, R. Dunn n 

Contributors: A. Lucky n, A. Savage n, L. Nichols n , C. Castracani *, L. Shell n, D. Grasso *, A. Mori *, R. Dunn n 

author keywords: ants; citizen science; distribution; diversity; public participation in scientific research; urban ecosystems
TL;DR: Data from the School of Ants program indicate that ant diversity varies across wide geographic scales and that there can be high levels of native ant diversity where people live, and to address concerns about the validity of citizen scientist-derived data, a ground truthing trial was conducted that confirmed that trained and untrained volunteers were equally effective at collecting ants.

2014 journal article

Fine-scale heterogeneity across Manhattan's urban habitat mosaic is associated with variation in ant composition and richness

INSECT CONSERVATION AND DIVERSITY, 8(3), 216–228.

By: A. Savage n, B. Hackett n, B. Guenard *, E. Youngsteadt n  & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: A. Savage n, B. Hackett n, B. Guénard *, E. Youngsteadt n  & R. Dunn n 

Ed(s): K. Schonrogge & J. Orivel

author keywords: Ants; chronic environmental stress; community structure; diversity; exotic species; Lasius; Tapinoma; Tetramorium; unique species; urban ecology
TL;DR: It is suggested that fine‐scale heterogeneity in the chronic stress of urban habitats may be an underappreciated, but important structuring force for urban animal communities. (via Semantic Scholar)

2014 journal article

Habitat and species identity, not diversity, predict the extent of refuse consumption by urban arthropods

GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 21(3), 1103–1115.

By: E. Youngsteadt n , R. Henderson n, A. Savage n, A. Ernst n, R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

Contributors: E. Youngsteadt n , R. Henderson n, A. Savage n, A. Ernst n, R. Dunn n  & S. Frank n 

author keywords: ants; arthropods; biodiversity; ecosystem service; hurricane; urban food waste; urbanization
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods / physiology; Biodiversity; Cities; Ecosystem; Feeding Behavior; Food Chain; New York City; Solid Waste / analysis; Species Specificity; Vertebrates / physiology
TL;DR: The results suggest that species identity and habitat may be more relevant than diversity for predicting urban ecosystem services, even small green spaces such as street medians that may complement those of larger habitat patches across the urban landscape. (via Semantic Scholar)
