Do isolated trees encourage arboreal ant foraging at ground level? Quantification of ant activity and the influence of season, in Veracruz, Mexico

Removal rates of dead fruit flies were used in a tropical dry grassland of Veracruz, Mexico to indicate whether foraging by ants would be higher under isolated trees than in open grassland, and if foraging rates would differ seasonally. It was hypothesised that foraging rates would be higher under t...
