报告摘要：

I’ll tell you about work we started way back in 2004 on ant biodiversity in mountains that has led to the first global map of ant biodiversity as well as a series of experiments to understanding how climate and climate change influence ants and all that they do in terrestrial ecosystems. If there’s time, I’ll tell you about some work on plants in mountains as well.
