Global Ecology and Biogeography, 16(1), 24–33.

By: M. Fitzpatrick*, J. Weltzin*, N. Sanders * & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: M. Fitzpatrick*, J. Weltzin*, N. Sanders * & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: bioclimatic envelope; ecological niche models; evolution; future projections; geographical distribution; invasive; niche conservatism; Solenopsis invicta; species distribution models

2007 journal article

Temperature, but not productivity or geometry, predicts elevational diversity gradients in ants across spatial grains

GLOBAL ECOLOGY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY, 16(5), 640–649.

By: N. Sanders *, J. Lessard*, M. Fitzpatrick * & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: N. Sanders *, J. Lessard*, M. Fitzpatrick * & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: community structure; forests; Formicidae; Great Smoky Mountains National Park; productivity; scale; species richness; temperature; USA
TL;DR: The results suggest that temperature indirectly affects ant species diversity across spatial grains, perhaps by limiting access to resources, and some mechanisms shaping ant diversity gradients are common across scales. (via Semantic Scholar)

author keywords: human blood outgrowth endothelial cells (HBOEC); phage displayed peptide library screening; cell-specific; peptides; progenitor cell-based therapies
MeSH headings : Endothelial Cells / metabolism; Humans; Ligands; Peptide Library; Peptides / metabolism; Protein Binding; Protein Interaction Mapping / methods
TL;DR: The isolated 12-mer peptide ligands that bind to human blood outgrowth endothelial cells (HBOEC) display outstanding cell specificity and are expected to be exploited in the development of future cell-based therapeutic revascularization approaches to ischemic disease and endothelial injury.

Contributors: R. Dunn n , C. Parker*, M. Geraghty* & N. Sanders *

author keywords: ant diversity; Formicidae; life history evolution; mating; reproduction
TL;DR: This study examined the timing of nuptial flights, the synchronicity of nuPTial flights (as a potential index of mating strategy), and variation in nuptials flights with elevation and among years in a diverse temperate ant fauna. (via Semantic Scholar)

An ant mosaic revisited: Dominant ant species disassemble arboreal ant communities but co-occur randomly

BIOTROPICA, 39(3), 422–427.

By: N. Sanders *, G. Crutsinger*, R. Dunn n , J. Majer * & J. Delabie *

Contributors: N. Sanders *, G. Crutsinger*, R. Dunn n , J. Majer * & J. Delabie *

author keywords: assembly rules; Brazil; community structure; co-occurrence; null model; tropical diversity
TL;DR: It is found that all ant species, regardless of dominance status or guild membership, co‐occur much less than expected by chance, suggesting that dominant species disassemble tropical arboreal ant communities. (via Semantic Scholar)

A keystone ant species promotes seed dispersal in a "diffuse" mutualism

OECOLOGIA, 153(3), 687–697.

By: A. Gove n, J. Majer * & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: A. Gove n, J. Majer * & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: diversity; ecosystem function; functional redundancy; myrmecochory; Rhytidoponera
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Australia; Demography; Ecosystem; Plants; Seeds; Symbiosis
TL;DR: The relative importance of ant activity, diversity and species identity in an ant seed dispersal mutualism at local, regional and continental scales is examined and it is suggested that superficially diffuse mutualisms may depend greatly on the identity of particular partners.

Phosphorus limits tropical rain forest litter fauna

BIOTROPICA, 39(1), 50–53.

By: T. McGlynn*, D. Salinas*, R. Dunn n , T. Wood *, D. Lawrence* & D. Clark*

Contributors: T. McGlynn*, D. Salinas*, R. Dunn n , T. Wood *, D. Lawrence* & D. Clark*

author keywords: bottom-up; Costa Rica; detritus; nutrient limitation; phosphorus; stoichiometry; terrestrial food web; trophic cascade; tropical forest
TL;DR: The density of the invertebrate litter fauna varied considerably, and was strongly tied to soil and litter phosphorus concentrations, and natural variation in nutrient levels can serve as a predictor of density in a highly diverse tropical animal community. (via Semantic Scholar)
