Long‐term fire exclusion and ant community structure in an Australian tropical savanna: congruence with vegetation succession

Aim  To examine the extent to which succession from tropical savanna to rain forest in the long‐term absence of fire is matched by successional changes in ant communities. This is done by describing…

Patchy Distributions of Ant Species in New Guinea Rain Forests

Areal distributions of individual species were found to be almost universally patchy, despite the external appearance of uniformity of the rain fores environment, and in the cases of species abundant enough to be studied in some detail, the patchiness seemed to obtain at two levels of distribution, which for purposes of description here will be referred to as "microgeographic" and "geographic".
