Urbanization causes shifts in the functional traits and foraging activity, and alters food particle size preference and biomass removal of urban-dwelling ants
Urbanization may lead to changes in assemblage and result in shifts in trait distribution from natural habitats to highly urbanized habitats. The shift in functional traits can affect ecosystem functions in urban areas. This study explored the foraging period of ants over 72 h and determined the rel...
