Journal ArticleDOI
The role of termites and ants in soil modification - a review
TL;DR: Future research directions need to include a greater concentration on the morphology of ant nests, more detailed assessment of the influence of ants and termites on soil structure and water infiltration, an increase in biopedological research in human-modified environments, a greater emphasis on termites and ants other than the most dominant or prominent species, and a focus on community as distinct from single-species effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ants as bioindicators of soil function in rural environments
TL;DR: Ants are considered an important group of soil fauna, yet they have received meagre attention in comparison with other soil organisms such as earthworms as mentioned in this paper, and there is a need for specific experiments to test the hypothesis that ants can be used as bioindicators of soil quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring online communication: can the development of convergence and social presence indicate an interactive learning environment?
TL;DR: More units of study are being offered flexibly, using distance education and online facilities, as a consequence of recent educational developments in higher education, with learner expectations of being able to study when and where they like.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of ant bioturbation and foraging activities on surrounding soil properties
TL;DR: In this article, the extent of pore distribution as cavities and galleries was evaluated by taking photographs of a cross section of an ant mound after pouring in water miscible paint (1:8 paint to water suspension) into an open cut on the top of the mound.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of an open‐forest ant community to invasion by the introduced ant, Pheidole megacephala
TL;DR: The extent of an established colony of P. megacephala in a long undisturbed open forest near Maryborough in southeast Queensland is described and ant community structure is compared with those of nearby uninfested sites.
