  1. Ant Research Project: Data Analyses

  2. Research Project • Broad research question:

  3. Research Project • Broad research question: Are different ant species selecting for different habitat types around campus? • Narrow research questions:

  4. Research Project • Broad research question: Are different ant species selecting for different habitat types around campus? • Narrow research questions: Is RIFA restricted to particular habitats, and does RIFA prefer particular habitats • Applied interest: Eliminate RIFA from campus habitat while minimizing pesticide distribution

  5. Research Project Steps • 1. Sample ants in different habitat types • 2. Clean up samples • Dry ants & transfer to new bags 3. Process samples • Count ants • Identify ants (today) 4. Analyze data 5. Report findings

  6. Relative Abundances

  7. Solenopsis invicta Monomorium spp. Myrmecocystus spp. Pheidole spp.

  8. Are different ant species selecting for different habitat types around campus?

  9. Is RIFA restricted to particular habitat types?

  10. Does RIFA prefer particular habitat types?
