The following rule is predicted: the ecological amplitude of individual species, both expanding and endemic, should be negatively correlated with the size of the local fauna to which they belong and hence thesize of the island on which they occur.

128 Citations1992Henk Wolda
Results appear to be incompatible with the generally held tenet that natural populations in undisturbed environments fluctuate within rather narrow abundance limits, and may indicate that at least a certain proportion of natural populations are not kept within such limits by regulatory processes.
EvolutionAN ESTIMATE OF THE POTENTIAL EVOLUTIONARY INCREASE IN SPECIES DENSITY IN THE POLYNESIAN ANT FAUNA
77 Citations1967Edward O. Wilson, Robert W. Taylor
In the course of current studies on the Indo-Australian fauna, the number of species on an island is well correlated with the island's area, and some related species have acquired complementary (mosaic) interand intra-island distributions that can be explained easily only as the outcome of competitive exclusion.
Insectes SociauxTropical social parasites in the ant genusPheidole, with an analysis of the anatomical parasitic syndrome (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
51 Citations1984E. O. Wilson
All of the nine certain or likely social parasites of Pheidole known worldwide are compared, and an anatomical parasitic syndrome is identified through character state analysis, and the evolution is interpreted as having been not only parallel among species but mosaic within species (seetable I).
Psyche A Journal of EntomologyPatchy Distributions of Ant Species in New Guinea Rain Forests
43 Citations1958Edward O. Wilson
Areal distributions of individual species were found to be almost universally patchy, despite the external appearance of uniformity of the rain fores environment, and in the cases of species abundant enough to be studied in some detail, the patchiness seemed to obtain at two levels of distribution, which for purposes of description here will be referred to as "microgeographic" and "geographic".
Environmental EntomologyEffects of Vegetation Change on Ant Communities of Arid Rangelands
29 Citations1981Wendy A. Wisdom, Walter G. Whitford
Ant communities were most similar on the two sites subjected to vegetation modification, and most different comparing those dune habitats with the untreated mesquite dunes.

Taxonomic revision of the Nearctic genus Acanthomyops (Hymenoptera: Farmicidea) and related genera are presented.
Insectes SociauxNew parasitic ants of the genusKyidris, with notes on ecology and behavior
27 Citations1956E. O. Wilson, William L. Brown
Two new species of the dacetine ant genusKyidris from New Guinea are described, which were always found in mixed colonies with the larger, polymorphic d acetine speciesStrumigenys loriae Emery, which often occurs independently and is generally abundant in the lowland rain forests of New Guinea.
Insectes SociauxChimaeridris, a new genus of hook-mandibled myrmicine ants from tropical asia (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
8 Citations1989E. O. Wilson
The worker is outwardly similar to that of a minor worker or minor-major intermediate ofPheidole, except that its mandibles are hook shaped, displaying a form unique within the subfamily Myrmicinae and superficially similar to those of ecitonine army ants in the genusCheliomyrmex and some African driver ants of the genusDorylus.
