Ant communities on small tropical islands: effects of island size and isolation are obscured by habitat disturbance and 'tramp' ant species
2010-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Comparisons among islands offer an opportunity to study the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on small, replicated biological communities. Smaller population sizes on islands accelerate some ecological processes, which may decrease the time needed for perturbations to affect community composition. We surveyed ants on 18 small tropical islands to determine the effects of island size, isolation from the mainland...
