Food and clean water are but two of the benefits we reap from functioning ecosystems, but we know little about how individual species contribute to making ecosystems work. This project capitalises on the diversity of Australia's ant fauna by using ants as a model taxon to explore the link between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

食物和清洁的水只是我们从生态系统中获得的两个好处，但我们对单个物种如何使生态系统发挥作用知之甚少。该项目利用澳大利亚蚂蚁动物群的多样性，以蚂蚁为模式分类，探索生物多样性和生态系统功能之间的联系。
