This project aims to bridge the gap in understanding of ecological strategies between plant and animal ecology, globally, using ants. It will test how environmental change influences the success of species, based on ecological strategies, and the consequences for ecosystem function. This project is expected to make a significant contribution to generality and prediction in ecology. Expected outcomes of this project include theory development and application and enhanced global networks of trait researchers. Intended benefits include improved ecological theory, an enhanced capacity to predict how global change will affect organisms and increased understanding of the cascading effects of changes for ecosystem function.

该项目旨在利用蚂蚁在全球范围内弥合植物和动物生态学之间在理解生态战略方面的差距。它将根据生态战略，测试环境变化如何影响物种的成功，以及对生态系统功能的影响。预计该项目将对生态学的普适性和预测性做出重大贡献。该项目的预期成果包括理论发展和应用以及增强的全球性状研究网络。预期的好处包括改进生态学理论，增强预测全球变化将如何影响生物体的能力，以及提高对变化对生态系统功能的级联影响的理解。
