Ant biodiversity and its environmental predictors in the North Kimberley region of Australia’s seasonal tropics

Northern Australia supports the world’s largest estate of undeveloped tropical savannas, but previous studies of ant diversity in the region have covered only a fraction of its land area and habitat diversity. We assess patterns of ant species and functional diversity, their environmental predictors...
