The little things that run the world revisited: a review of ant-mediated ecosystem services and disservices (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes information on ecosystem services provided by ants in a framework modeled after the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, and they show that ants provide services in each of these categories.

Burning for biodiversity: highly resilient ant communities respond only to strongly contrasting fire regimes in Australia's seasonal tropics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the sensitivity of tropical savanna ants to variation in fire regimes using results from a long-term fire experiment near Darwin, Australia, and found that ant communities have very high resilience in relation to fire, with differences evident only between strongly contrasting regimes.

TL;DR: A minimum subset of variables that should be collected in all climate change studies to allow data re-use and synthesis, and guidance on additional variables critical for different types of synthesis and upscaling are recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking microbial communities, functional genes and nitrogen-cycling processes in forest floors under four tree species
Relena R. Ribbons,Relena R. Ribbons,Relena R. Ribbons,David J. Levy-Booth,Jacynthe Masse,Susan J. Grayston,Morag McDonald,Lars Vesterdal,Cindy E. Prescott +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that tree species influenced forest floor N cycling and soil microbial gene abundances, and that functional genetics can be useful for exploring mechanistic links between tree species and nitrogen cycling processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ant-mediated ecosystem functions on a warmer planet: effects on soil movement, decomposition and nutrient cycling.
TL;DR: It is suggested that ants may be moving more soil and building deeper nests to escape increasing temperatures, but warming may also influence their direct and indirect effects on soil ecosystem processes.
