The influence of fire, vegetation age and Argentine ants (Iridomyrmex humilis) on ant communities in Swartsboskloof

Ants are sensitive to disturbance and it has been suggested that their species composition and abundance may be used as an index of the conservation status of natural systems (Fox 1981; Majer 1983; Majer et al. 1984).
