Mean abundances (± standard error) of ant genera collected from pitfall traps at low and high elevations sites in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area.

<p>Superscript numbers 1, 2, 3 indicate the top three genera that differ between low and high elevation communities. The genera that contain seed-removalists (MYR) are indicated (Y = yes). Superscript letters indicate: a genera that moved seeds, and b genera known as seed predators [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0157632#pone.0157632.ref031" target="_blank">31</a>]. The functional group [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0157632#pone.0157632.ref043" target="_blank">43</a>] abbreviations are: dominant Dolichoderinae (DD); opportunists (O); subordinate Camponotini (SC); hot & cold climate specialists (HCS & CCS); cryptic species (CS); specialist predators (SP); generalized Myrmicinae (GM).
