Darker ants dominate the canopy: Testing macroecological hypotheses for patterns in colour along a microclimatic gradient

1. Gradients in cuticle lightness of ectotherms have been demonstrated across latitudes and elevations. Three key hypotheses have been used to explain these macroecological patterns: the thermal melanism hypothesis (TMH), the melanism‐desiccation hypothesis (MDH) and the photo‐protection hypothesis...
