Thermal ecosystem engineering by songbirds promotes a symbiotic relationship with ants
Abstract Nesting birds can act as thermal ecosystem engineers by providing warm habitats that may attract arthropods to colonise the nest structure. This cohabitation of birds and nest-dwelling invertebrates may foster symbiotic relationships between them, but evidence is lacking. We investigated wh...
