The Red List Index (RLI) is an indicator of the average extinction risk of groups of species and reflects trends in this through time. It is calculated from the number of species in each category on...

Our review on the dual role of ants as ecosystem engineers and providers of ecosystem services was published yesterday! https://t.co/wYvXGaxp8D Together with it, you can read a short interview I gave to the Myrmecological News blog about the article: https://t.co/BNN5j4N9wR
