High diversity in an urban habitat: are some animal assemblages resilient to long-term anthropogenic change?
URBAN ECOSYSTEMS, 18(2), 449–463.
Contributors: B. Guénard*, A. Cardinal-De Casas n & R. Dunn n
author keywords: Urban ecosystem; Long term study; Formicidae; Disturbance; Invasive species
TL;DR:
The results show that while the number of exotic species increased, including three major invasive ants, native ant species richness remained high, and represent one of the most species-rich urban environments monitored and thus open encouraging perspective on how urban ecosystems could contribute to the preservation of the biodiversity of small-bodies organisms such as ants.
