Genetic changes associated to declining populations of Formica ants in fragmented forest landscape.

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2005

Abstract excerpt

We monitored populations of two wood ant species, Formica aquilonia and Formica lugubris, through annual mapping of the colonies in a fragmenting forest landscape from 1966 to 1998. The genetic population structure was studied at the end of the study period by using 12 microsatellite loci. Fragmentation of forest led to a decline and spatial redistribution of populations. Changes in the spatial distribution were...
