Davidson, Diane W. | Foraging ecology and community organization in desert seed-eating ants | Granivorous ants in the southwestern deserts of the United States are characterized by species-specific colony foraging behaviors that determine their efficiencies at utilizing seeds from different density distributions. Workers search for food either in groups or as individuals, and these feedin... | Ants; Arizona; California; Coexistence; Communities; Density specialization; Desert granivores; Foraging strategies; Insects; New Mexico; Resource partitioning | 1977 |

Davidson, Diane W. | Granivory in a desert ecosystem: experimental evidence for indirect facilitation of ants by rodents | Two major groups of desert granivores, ants and rodents, coexist as permanent residents of local desert habitats in southwestern North America. At our Sonoran Desert study site, both of the major taxa exhibited short-term increase in density when the other taxon was experimentally removed. Over the... | Ants; Arizona; Desert annuals; Facilitation; Granivory; Indirect mutualism; Rodents; Seed predation; Sonoran Desert | 1984 |

Davidson, Diane W. | Species diversity and community organization in desert seed-eating ants | Patterns of species diversity and community organization in desert seed-eating ants were studied in 10 habitats on a longitudinal gradient of increasing rainfall extending from southeastern California, through southern Arizona, and into southwestern New Mexico. Local communities of harvester ants... | Ants; Arizona; California; Communities; Competition; Desert Granivores; Diversity; Insects; New Mexico; Novomessor; Pheidole; Pogonomyrmex; Resource allocation; Veromessor. | 1977 |
