This book was released on 2012 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Globally, ant species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are a prominent part of terrestrial ecosystems, with high richness, abundance, and ecosystem function. The New Zealand ant fauna is characterised by poor species richness and is dominated by introduced species, however their ecology is poorly known. At the global as well as the local scale, a variety of abiotic and biotic variables are likely to influence species distribution patterns. This study investigates the role of habitat structure, temperature, and inter-specific competition on the assembly of ant communities within four different habitat types in the Auckland region. Two distinct ant communities were found in this study, one largely composed on endemic ant species occurring in forest habitat, the other largely composed of introduced species and occurring in non-forested areas. The local microclimate of these habitats was found to play a key role in the composition of these communities, with the cool environments of forest areas offering a refugia for endemic species, due to the apparent inability of introduced species to establish in these areas. New ant species continue to arrive at the New Zealand border. Competition appears to be of limited importance in New Zealand ant communities due to species not saturating the entire habitat that is available to them. The risk of invasive ants establishing in New Zealand is of serious economic and environmental concern, therefore the factors that determine species composition in current communities are of particular interest for predicting future invasions. The results of this study suggest that many future invaders will be unable to establish in forest habitats, however further research in these areas is required to better assess the risk of introduced ants to New Zealand ecosystems".

This book was released on 2006-07-04 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human colonization of New Zealand has dramatically altered the resident biota, introduced numerous alien organisms to these once remote islands, and exported local species to the world. This book reviews invasions, investigates what controls the success of invaders and studies the consequences for ecosystems both on land and offshore. The book tests current theories about the success of invaders and evaluates principles for effective management of biological invasions worldwide.

Download or read book Ants written by Heather Campbell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly illustrated natural history of ants, covering their diversity, ecology, anatomy, behavior, and more Plentiful and familiar, ants make up an estimated one-third of the world’s insect biomass and can be found in virtually every part of the globe, from rain forest canopies to city sidewalks. But their importance is about more than numbers: ants are fundamental species in a range of habitats and their interactions with plants, fungi, and other animals ensure the survival of many fragile and complex ecosystems. This beautifully illustrated book explores the extraordinary diversity of ants and offers insights into their elaborate social systems, investigating the key collective and competitive behaviors that operate within their varied colony structures. Featuring exceptional close-up photographs and clearly organized thematic chapters, the book covers anatomy, evolution, life cycle, ecology, and other important topics. Each chapter also features profiles of standout genera, chosen for their fascinating characteristics, including Leafcutter Ants, who build nests containing up to 7,000 chambers; Pugnacious Ants whose colonies can destroy populations of crabs within hours; and Honeypot Ants whose worker caste store food in their stomachs for other colony members to consume. Drawing on current research, Ants offers an inviting and accessible introduction to these remarkable insects. Includes more than 200 stunning color photographs, plus infographics and diagrams Presents full profiles of 42 iconic genera from across the world Features clearly structured thematic chapters
