A recent study by a team of international researchers, including former C·I·B post-doctoral associate, Tom Bishop, has shown that invasive dominant ant species have different effects on the diversity of the wider ant community than native dominant species.
The Iimbovane Outreach Project has received a generous donation of books, which will be used to help in the teaching of biodiversity science to the high school learners.
Did you know that ants have hair on their bodies? Or that some species build underground cities which go as deep as 8 meters deep?
A recent study by C·I·B and University of Liverpool student Tom Bishop and supervisors Mark Robsertson, Berndt Janse van Rensburg and Catherine Parr has asked how the composition of ant groupings changes across environmental gradients.
In July this year, the Iimbovane Outreach Project introduced 30 Life Science learners to the wonders of biodiversity, during two workshops held at the Centre for Invasion Biology.
