Ants- PAGE 5 - PLAINDF ALER - FRIDAY, JUNE 2», ltM The next time you're tempted to stomp on that battalion of ants carrying off your picnic, try to remember that ants play a critical rede in the overall ecology of our planet. By a peculiar quirk of genetics, all the worker ants showing up at your picnic as uninvited guests are females and are probably sisters; you might think of the attackers as a feminist brigade. They're the uninvited guests at every picnic and probably have been since the first picnic was held. But the next time you're tempted to stomp on that battalion of ants carrying off your potato said and fried chicken, try looking at them from the viewpoint of the Smithsonian Institution's Dr. James F. Lynch, an expert on those ubiquitous little creatures. "Ants are not just a nuisance or an interesting fringe element in our society," the zoologist in­ sists. "They play a critical role in the overall ecology of our planet." That may be small comfort while they're in­ terrupting your picnic,, in­ vading your kitchen or building a nest on your patio, but consider this: At any one time there are more than a quadrillion ants on earth-a number that makes the sales of hamburgers pale in comparison. They are the most abundant of the visible insects and incredibly diverse-scientists estimate there are as many as 12,000 to 14,000 species of ants. Ants are constantly tur­ ning over soil, aerating and enriching it. In fact, together with earthworms, ants are the principal movers of soil in both tropical and tem­ perate regions. Ants also are the main scavengers of dead insects, devouring fallen creatures like vacuum cleaners. Still not convinced? Well, consider this: Ants are found virtually everywhere on earth, except Antarctica- ranging from the arctic tree line, south to the tip of South Africa, and on virtually every oceanic island. And if you're still not persuaded that ants are important, remember that ants, like humans, are social creatures. In fact, they are the most social of the social insects-those that live in colonies-with a behavior rivalled in complexity in the insect world only by the -honeybee.

ELM, McHENRY All of which has made ants a subject of interest to Lynch, who carries out his studies at the Smithsonian's - Chesapeake'Bay Center for Environmental Studies near Annapolis, " Md. Lynch doesn't have to look far for his subject ^matter. There are about 500 species of ants in the United States as a whole, and he's already identified 60 species on the Center's 2,600 acres, which contain a variety of habitats- -farmland, shoreline, marsh, open field, new forest and mature hardwood forest. As he looked around, he found that many ant species used different habitats or food types, but others somehow seemed to coexist in the same habitat, feeding on a similar range of foods. Competition for food seemed inevitable, Lynch surmised. "And for, so many different species to share successfully the same ecological niche," he says, "I guessed that each species had to behave somewhat differently in its search for food and in its defensive actions." The larger issue for Lynch is the nature of competition among species of animals. "In nature," he explains, "you rarely observe dif­ ferent animal species ill the same habitat actively competing for food-you simply infer that over the course of evolutionary time competition has occurred and that the ecological and behavioral differences you see today are the results of that evolution. But with ants, one can actually observe and measure the process of competition between dif­ ferent species." . For his studies, he chose the three commonest ant species found in the forest at the Chesapeake Bay center. These same species are characteristic of forests in the entire eastern United States, and their close relatives occur in west coast forests and elsewhere in North America. Lynch set out "baits"- small plastic discs-using tuna fish to simulate the protein of dead insects, a common food, and a diluted sugar solution to simulate the kind of sweet car­ bohydrate liquids that ants obtain from tree saps, fruit, flowers and the excretions of aphids1 and certain other insects. Baits were set out beginning in early spring and continuing into late autumn. Over the course of three years, Lynch and his colleagues made thousands of hours of observations, day and night-counting the kinds and numbers of ants that showed up at the baits, what kinds of food they were at­ tracted to and their pattern of behavior when confronted with competitors. The researchers followed the movements of the ants-from the moment when they first discovered the food to their return to the nest and recruitment of other workers and back again to the food source. (By a peculiar quirk of genetics, all worker ants showing up at your picnic are females and are probably sisters; you might think of the at­ tackers as a feminist brigade.) - The hundreds of measurements and ob­ servations were eventually analyzed with the help of a computer, and some fascinating conclusions began to emerge. "Most people think an ant is an ant is an ant," Lynch says, "but close study shows that these ants, like people, not only look different but are leading very different lives." The most abundant ant, Prenolepis imparis, is rather slow to discover food, but once a scout has found it, she mobilizes large numbers of her sisters very quickly. Prenolepis, an intermediate- sized ant with colonies of about 1,600 individuals, is extremely aggressive. She actively attacks other ants and emits a defensive chemical that repels and disorients them; con­ sequently, other ants have difficulty in dislodging Prenolepis from a food source. The species shows a distinct, preference for protein foods. At the other extreme is the tiny, timid Paratrechina melanderi, which is quick to find food, but which nimbly avoids confrontations with other, more aggressive ants. Paratrechina, whose small colonies number only 125 to 150 individuals, employs a hit-and-run technique to pilfer from food -sources dominated by more aggressive ants, darting in and out quickly enough to avoid contact. It prefers carbohydrates. The third species, Aphaenogaster rudis, which Lynch calls a "broad-niched ecological generalist," falls between these two lifestyles, Aphaenogaster forms colonies of about 300 in­ dividuals. Although the largest of the three species, it lacks the defensive adaptations of Prenolepis. Nevertheless, it is adept at finding food and is able to •> carry off much larger pieces of food than the more aggressive ant. It responds equally to protein and carbohydrate baits. "It's a kind of jack-of-all- trades," Lynch says, "using a range of behavioral tactics to steal food when the more agressive species is around And if Aphaenogaster finds food first, she will frequently hide it with debris and return for it at nightfall." I n t e r e s t i n g l y , t h e aggressive Prenolepis is most active in late fall and in April and June, whereas the diminutive Paratrechina is most active in August and September when the former literally disappears from view, probably because it doesn't like hot weather. Aphaenogaster does most of its foraging at night in April and May and in September and October, but shifts to a daytime pattern when Prenolepis is absent. "Clearly, each species has evolved distinct adaptations for finding and defending food, and for surviving in the same habitat," Lynch says, "and we think this helps them to coexist." Lynch is carrying out similar research on ant communities in Florida, on Caribbean islands and in Mexico. He also is planning to study them in Panama, a classic tropical region where the number of species is far greater and the competiiton for food resources is presumably even stiffer than in temperate climates. "From the studies we've done so far," he says, "we're beginning to see an outline of general behavioral strategy patterns. We'd like to think that these kinds of strategies apply not only to other species of ants, but to other animals as well." * Lynch admits that thinking of ants as com* petitive bands of sisters may not increase your empathy towards them. But he quickly points out that even when they are annoying, ants are rarely harmful to humans (a painful exception is the notorious stinging fire ant of ihe southeastern United States), and the ecological good they do probably far outweighs the bad. "Besides, there really isn't much we can do about ants, so we might as well learn to live with them," Lynch adds. "They've been around for the last 100 million years and will probably be around at least that much longer." WHAT S NEW A new paint applicator with a combination roller- paint tray.
