Nest microhabitats and tree size mediate shifts in ant community structure across elevation in tropical rainforest canopies
Abstract
Declines or mid‐elevation peaks in invertebrate diversity with elevation are often attributed to climate and geometric constraints. However, vegetation structure may also drive diversity patterns, especially for tree‐dwelling species, via its effects on microhabitat use and competitive interactions. Here we investigate these effects on the diversity and community structure of tree‐nesting ants over elevation. We exhaustively sampled ant nests in...
