Population Responses to Environmental Change in a Tropical Ant: The Interaction of Spatial and Temporal Dynamics
Spatial structure can have a profound, but often underappreciated, effect on the temporal dynamics of ecosystems. Here we report on a counterintuitive increase in the population of a tree-nesting ant, Azteca sericeasur, in response to a drastic reduction in the number of potential nesting sites. Thi...
