3.2 Ant community composition
CAP ordination revealed that ant community composition across the
transects was significantly affected by habitat type (p = 0.005, see
Table S6 for PERMANOVA results). Data points referring to ant community
composition of old grasslands (light green squares, see Fig. 3) were
(except of one) clearly separated from other habitats, according to
their position along the first ordination axis. Contrary, data points
referring to ant community composition at new grasslands (dark green
triangles) clustered together with data points from cereal crop habitats
(purple circles and blue diamonds).
