Abstract: 11 Received; revision accepted .Abstract The effect of environmental heterogeneity on species richness is frequently 13 discussed in ecology. However, the empirical evidence has been contradictory as to the 14 direction of the effect. Although some authors have considered that this might be a 15 methodological problem, we argue that for ants, ecological interactions within the 16 community, as interspecific competition is more important.
