5 окт. 2022 г. Ants are ubiquitous on Earth being found in all terrestrial biomes
Biomass transport rate was also associated with canopy cover. This study characterizes key features of the foraging ecology of leaf-cutter ants and

and biomass and ant mound distribution. The re- sults showed that on the scale of 5 m × 5 m the mound distributions of the bright black ant in quadrat 1–3
We found the density of ants and their nests were strongly related to litter biomass and carbon: phosphorus stoichiometry. The spatial variation in soil

ant biomass as a covariate (Table 1). In the litterbag gradient experiment the best supported regression model accounting for decomposition rate constants in

OIKOS 103: 469-478 2003. Colonisation by a dominant ant facilitated by anthropogenic disturbance: effects on ant assemblage composition
In our study we investigated several soil parameters sampled in 10 ant nests and Root biomass followed the vertical pattern observed with nutrients: in ...
richness and biomass of ants was assessed by chemical knockdowns from within the territories of five of the dominant ant species. Ninety-one species of ant
Neither ant nor spider total biomass was significantly related to plant species richness. By contrast the biomass distribution of web-building and hunting.
Ferns supporting a higher biomass of ants experienced less herbivory and experimental exclusions of ants from fronds confirmed that this is caused by the
cophytes of Macaranga (Euphorbiaceae) we measured the ratio of ant biomass to plant biomass
Ants in Macaranga beccariana and Macaranga bancana relied on homopterans rather than food bodies and appeared to regulate the homopteran biomass and
weight) of adult ants in the sample was close to 49 g. Dolichoderus bispinosus the dominant species in the sample
invicta deployed more ant biomass at baits than the estimated whole colony biomass of three of the four co-occurring native species. It did so across ca. 75% of
