Abstract

This recent research suggests that Red Imported Fire Ants are most likely to impact ground-dwelling vertebrates by subtly altering patterns of habitat utilization. In light of the recent findings, I examined the impact of Red Imported Fire Ants on habitat use by small mammals in a post-oak savanna community. Specifically, I compared habitat use by small mammals to habitat use by RIFA's, and to 8 vegetation variables.
