Trait‐based ecology has surged in recent decades but a framework to assess eusocial taxa, such as ants and termites, has been left underdeveloped because ecological trait‐based approaches have yet to examine the ecological relationships and potential mechanisms between different trait components (i.e. queen, colony and worker).
We collected worker‐, queen‐ and colony‐scale traits of the ants of...
Aim
The positive relationship between species richness and area—the species–area relationship (SAR)—is a key principle in ecology. Previous studies show large variation in the SAR across taxa collectively indicating the necessity of a taxon‐focused approach to accurately evaluate biodiversity scaling patterns. Ants are ideal for this given their global distribution and role in ecosystem functioning...
