Arboreal Ants: Life in the Treetops
In the warmer regions of the world, a rich and colorful ant fauna lives entirely in the trees.
Mathematical ecologist Felipe Neves, a graduate student at the Universidade Federal do Paraná, demonstrates the use of an aspirator to collect ants. Many arboreal ants inhabit epiphytic plants; this bromeliad housed a large colony of Camponotus.
