Ant taxonomic and functional diversity show differential response to plantation age in two contrasting biomes
The increasing global demand for lumber and pulp has led to the conversion of natural
habitats into monocultures of fast-growing tree plantations. The environmental filtering …

Taxonomic and functional approaches reveal different responses of ant assemblages to land-use changes
Land-use change is well documented to cause species loss. However, our understanding of
the effects of land-use change on other aspects of biodiversity is still limited. We evaluated if …
