1. Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are often cited as highly thermophilic and this has led to
a range of studies investigating their thermal tolerances. It is unknown, however, if the …

Arboreal ants are both diverse and ecologically dominant in the tropics. Such ecologically
important groups are likely to be particularly useful in ongoing empirical efforts to …

While adaptive responses to climate gradients are increasingly documented, little is known
about how individuals alter their upper thermal tolerances. Long-term increases in dietary …

Recent efforts to understand global patterns of ant diversity have largely neglected the
canopy which harbours a diverse ant fauna, particularly in tropical lowland forests. We …
