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).
