Soil fauna responses to natural disturbances, invasive species, and global climate change: Current state of the science and a call to action
Environmental disturbances seem to be increasing in frequency and impact, yet we have
little understanding of the belowground impacts of these events. Soil fauna, while widely …

[HTML][HTML] Fire and flood: How the Pantanal ant communities respond to multiple disturbances?
Disturbances are key events in ecological systems, strongly impacting biological
communities. This study disentangles the effects of a chronic (flood) and acute (fire) …

Seasonal feeding plasticity can facilitate coexistence of dominant omnivores in Neotropical streams
Coexistence of ecomorphologically similar species in diverse Neotropical ecosystems has
been a focus of long-term debate among ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Such …

Seasonal population and individual niche dynamics in a tetra fish in the Pantanal wetlands
In seasonal tropical regions, rainfall and/or temporary floods during the wet season
generally increase the abundance and diversity of food resources to many consumers as …

Habitats shape taxonomic and functional composition of Neotropical ant assemblages
Determining assembly rules of co-occurring species persists as a fundamental goal in
community ecology. At local scales, the relative importance of environmental filtering vs …

[HTML][HTML] A taxonomic study of the Brazilian turtle ants (Formicidae: Myrmicinae: Cephalotes)
We revise the taxonomy of species of the ant genus Cephalotes occurring in Brazil. Sixty-
four species are recognized, distributed in 14 species groups. Five species are described as …

Integration of global fossil and modern biodiversity data reveals dynamism and stasis in ant macroecological patterns
B Guénard, V Perrichot… - Journal of Biogeography, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Aim We investigate the dynamics of ant biodiversity patterns and community structure from
the Eocene until the present. Our goal is to empirically test hypotheses regarding the …

Individual niche trajectories drive fitness variation
Variation in fitness across individuals is central to population growth, species coexistence
and evolution by natural selection. Fitness variation associated with resource use is hugely …

Patterns of diversity in a metacommunity of bees and wasps of relictual mountainous forest fragments
Naturally fragmented landscapes provide a suitable opportunity for investigating species
dynamics under the sole influence of habitat fragmentation. Various approaches have used …

Seasonality and interspecific competition shape individual niche variation in co‐occurring tetra fish in Neotropical streams
The drivers of intraspecific niche variation and its effects on species interactions are still
unclear, especially in species‐rich Neotropical environments. Here, we investigated how …
