3.4 Community weighted means of traits related to biocontrol
services
The comparison of community weighted means (CWM) focussed on three
species traits related to biocontrol potential of the ants and the old
and new grassland habitats. Results for both cereal crop habitats are
not shown, due to low cumulative species richness. CWM values of the
proportion of animal based resources in ant diet (Fig. 5a) were not
significantly different between old and new grasslands (p = 0.285, see
Table S8) and analogous results were found for the CWM values of food
recruitment strategy (Fig. 5b, p = 0.713) and ant colony size (Fig. 5c,
p = 0.992).
