Semi-natural linear habitats such as field and meadow margins are often crucial in maintaining insect diversity and species distributions in agricultural landscapes. While many ant species are capable of forming large colonies (supercolonies) that can have considerable effects on the ecosystem within which they are embedded, it is not known how colony development, persistence, and spatial structure in agricultural areas may be affected by these boundary habitats. We used historical… CONTINUE READING
