摘要: Native grasslands are one of the most endangered ecosystems in south eastern Australia. Conservation grassland remnants and development effective indicator groups to monitor their quality is a high priority. Recent surveys epigaeic invertebrates have revealed several candidate for this. Ants popular focal group invertebrate region. The ant species richness functional on four series sites Victoria suggest that small scale heterogeneity sufficiently predictive values ants limited, may not be sensitive floristic change employ them alone monitoring condition
