author keywords: Formicidae; species richness; global diversity gradients
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Ecosystem; Linear Models; Models, Biological; Population Density; Species Specificity; Trees; Tropical Climate; Weather
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Plant and animal studies; Species Distribution and Climate Change
TL;DR: It appears that canopy and litter ant assemblages share a common abundance–diversity relationship influenced by similar but not identical climatic drivers. (via Semantic Scholar)

Is It Easy to Be Urban? Convergent Success in Urban Habitats among Lineages of a Widespread Native Ant

PLoS ONE, 5(2), e9194.

By: S. Menke n, W. Booth n, R. Dunn n , C. Schal n , E. Vargo n & J. Silverman n

Contributors: S. Menke n, W. Booth n, R. Dunn n , C. Schal n , E. Vargo n & J. Silverman n

Ed(s): C. Moreau

MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Animals; Ants / classification; Ants / enzymology; Ants / genetics; Cities; DNA, Mitochondrial / chemistry; DNA, Mitochondrial / genetics; Ecosystem; Electron Transport Complex IV / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Geography; Haplotypes; Molecular Sequence Data; North America; Phylogeny; Sequence Analysis, DNA
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Plant and animal studies; Animal Behavior and Reproduction
TL;DR: The results indicate that T. sessile has colonized urban habitats repeatedly and appears to do so using life history strategies already present in more natural populations, and polygynous colony structure is a highly plastic trait across habitat, clade, and haplotype. (via Semantic Scholar)

author keywords: Biodiversity; climate change; Eocene; Formicidae; latitudinal gradient
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / genetics; Ants / physiology; Biodiversity; Biological Evolution; Climate
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Plant and animal studies; Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies
TL;DR: Examining the latitudinal pattern of species richness across 1003 local ant assemblages finds latitudinal asymmetry, with southern hemisphere sites being more diverse than northern hemisphere sites, and the most parsimonious explanation is that greater climate change since the Eocene in the northern than in the southern hemisphere has led to more extinctions in the north with consequent effects on local ant species richness.

Characterizing and predicting species distributions across environments and scales: Argentine ant occurrences in the eye of the beholder

Menke, S. B., Holway, D. A., Fisher, R. N., & Jetz, W. (2008, October 8). Global Ecology and Biogeography.

By: S. Menke*, D. Holway *, R. Fisher * & W. Jetz *

author keywords: Argentine ant; California; ecological niche models; GIS; invasion; Linepithema humile; model averaging; spatial grain; species distribution models
topics (OpenAlex): Species Distribution and Climate Change; Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Plant and animal studies
TL;DR: The aim of the study is to jointly quantify how issues relating to region and scale affect ENM predictions using an economically important and ecologically damaging invasive species, the Argentine ant. (via Semantic Scholar)
