Experiments with artificial nests provide evidence for ant community stratification and nest site limitation in a tropical forest

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

We assessed the ant community stratification and nest site limitation in a lowland rainforest in New Guinea using experimental addition of artificial bamboo nests of two cavity sizes (small: ~12 mm large: ~32 mm diameter). We placed them at ground level, in the understorey, and in the canopy, and also conducted a pilot experiment to test the utility of nest translocation. Occupancy of small nests was much higher in the understorey and canopy than at ground level (~75% vs. ~25%). Translocation was successful, with little impact on colonies compared to control. Our experiment demonstrates a vertical stratification in community composition of ants and a higher nest site limitation in the higher strata than at ground level. Use of small artificial cavities in trees has great potential for future experimental studies.
