This diversity is distinctive, with some major groups missing and others having radiated. Conservation of Australasian entomological biodiversity is an increasing challenge for contemporary scientists. There are 1275 described species &amp; subspecies (103) of Formicidae in Australia. Ants dominate ecologically in all but tropical rainforests.]</p>
