Drivers of deadwood colonization by ants in a temperate forest
Daniele Giannetti, Antonio Verolino, Giovanni Rabusin, Enrico Schifani et autres
• Wood diameter, hardness, and decay class strongly drive colonization probability; • Colony composition varies markedly across the 13 ant species recorded; • Slope aspect and east-facing exposure significantly shape community composition; • Artificial micro-openings (2 mm) increase ant colonization.
