Article Synopsis
- Habitat fragmentation in urban areas creates selection pressures on ant populations, leading to significant morphological differences among individuals found in separate parks.
- Researchers used pitfall trapping to objectively analyze functional traits and discovered these ants exhibited varying phenotypic traits across urban parks.
- Findings indicate that habitat degradation in urban landscapes limits phenotypic diversity and alters the morphological characteristics of ant populations, emphasizing a need for further studies on diverse ant taxa to understand their responses to urban segregation.
