Above- and below-ground links mediated by arboreal ants and host tree modify soil aggregation scaling, infiltration, and chemistry

This study examines how arboreal ant nesting affects soil properties like aggregation, infiltration, and chemistry through indirect interactions with host trees and ground ants.

Keystone competitor creates spatial patterns of biodiversity

The paper shows that a keystone ant competitor increases local species richness near its presence and decreases it with distance in coffee habitats.

High-order interactions maintain or enhance structural robustness of a coffee agroecosystem network

The paper tests whether high-order interactions enhance the robustness of a coffee agroecosystem network and proposes methods to represent and measure such interactions.
