Despite the high fragmentation of its natural habitats—grasslands with limestone rocks—a previous study revealed that the ant species Temnothorax nigriceps show no evidence of genetic isolation between populations separated by kilometers of presumably unsuitable landscape. In the present study, we hypothesized that urban anthropogenic structures might allow the species to nest and maintain ...
