Canopy ferns in lowland dipterocarp forest support a prolific abundance of ants, termites, and other invertebrates (2002)
Journal Article
Ellwood, M. D. F., Jones, D. T., & Foster, W. A. (2002). Canopy ferns in lowland dipterocarp forest support a prolific abundance of ants, termites, and other invertebrates. Biotropica, 34(4), 575-583. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1744-7429.2002.tb00576.x

The epiphytic Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus complex) has a large basket-shaped rosette that accumulates leaf litter. We investigated the role of these ferns in supporting invertebrate populations in the primary lowland dipterocarp forest of Danum...
