Disentangling the diversity of arboreal ant communities in tropical forest trees

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Tropical canopies are known for high abundance and diversity of ants. We censused nesting and foraging arboreal ant communities in two 0.32 ha plots of primary and secondary lowland rainforest in New Guinea and explored their species diversity and composition. Null models were used to test if the records of species foraging in a tree were dependent on the spatial distribution of nests in surrounding trees. In total, 102 ant species occurred in the primary plot compared with only 50 species in the secondary forest plot. However, there was only a small difference in mean ant species richness per tree between primary and secondary forest (3.8 and 3.3 sp. respectively). About half of the species and half of foraging individuals collected in a tree belongedto species which were not nesting in that tree. Null models showed that the ants foraging but not nesting in a tree are significantly more likely to nest in nearby trees. The primary forest plot was dominated by native ant species, where
