The influence of environmental complexity on the worker morphometry of ant assemblages

The influence of environmental complexity on the worker morphometry of ant assemblages

The objective of the present study was to test whether environmental complexity influences the morphology of leaf litter worker ants, as predicted by the size-grain hypothesis. We collected data from three types of vegetation (shrubby, shrubby-arboreal, and arboreal) in Restinga da Marambaia, southe...
