Research Highlights
Effects of Diet on Brood Development in the Carpenter Ant
Year: 2015
A Forest Service scientist fed carpenter ants an artificial diet, and variations of this diet, with nutrient components removed to examine the effects on brood development. The potential B vitamin and sterol contribution of a yeast found associated with the ants was the overall reason for this stud...
