Title |
Maintaining diversity in an ant community: modeling, extending, and testing the dominance-discovery trade-off |
Date |
2007 |
Description |
Ant communities often consist of many species with apparently similar niches. We present a mathematical model of the dominance-discovery trade-off, the trade-off between the abilities to find and to control resources, showing that it can in principle facilitate the coexistence of large numbers of species. |
