“Between 2012 and 2023, the Italian School of Ants citizen-science project engaged over 6,000 participants, sampled urban ant diversity in 136 municipalities across three-quarters of Italy’s regions, and identified 62 native and non-native species.”

“In the Italian urban-ant study, dominant-species diversity was higher in less populated cities with greater edge density and higher green-to-impervious ratios, while the tested environmental variables showed no effect on species richness.”
