DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9073
Abstract: Abstract The positive association between disturbances and biological invasions is a widely observed ecological pattern in the Anthropocene. Such patterns have been hypothesized to be driven by the superior competitive ability of invaders or by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04497-8
Abstract: Natural regeneration of abandoned farmland provides an important opportunity to contribute to global reforestation targets, including the Bonn Challenge. Of particular importance are the montane tropics, where a long history of farming, frequently on marginal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvab105
Abstract: Reducing the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides can limit negative impacts of agriculture on insects and is a crucial step towards sustainable agriculture. In the United States, organic agriculture has the potential to reduce… read more here.

Testing trade‐offs and the dominance–impoverishment rule among ant communities

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13911
Abstract: Ant communities are believed to be structured by competition, with dominant species competitively excluding subordinates (the dominance–impoverishment rule). However, a high number of seemingly similar species coexist, possibly due to interspecific trade‐offs. Here, we examine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0209596
Abstract: In ant communities, species coexist by using different foraging strategies. We developed an adaptive dynamics model to gain a better understanding of the factors that promote the emergence and maintenance of strategy diversity. We analysed… read more here.

The role of environmental vs. biotic filtering in the structure of European ant communities: A matter of trait type and spatial scale
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0228625
Abstract: Functional trait-based approaches are increasingly used for studying the processes underlying community assembly. The relative influence of different assembly rules might depend on the spatial scale of analysis, the environmental context and the type of… read more here.

Succession in ant communities (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in deciduous forest clear-cuts - an Eastern European case study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "European Journal of Endocrinology"
DOI: 10.14411/eje.2017.013
Abstract: Clear-cutting, the main method of harvesting in many forests in the world, causes a series of dramatic environmental changes to the forest habitat and removes habitat resources for arboreal and epigeal species. It results in… read more here.

DOI: 10.18474/jes22-28
Abstract: Abstract Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) diversity, with respect to elevation and the similarity of different ant communities therein, was identified in the southern portion of the Western Sichuan Plateau in China. Thirty plots were established in… read more here.
