I plan to repeat the survey's and experiments from last spring. 1) I will be surveying sites for ants and annual plants, these sites are located on BLM lands outside of MNP 2) I will be repeating the resource addition experiments from 2023 (adding tubes of honey water to a subset of silver cholla and tracking ant attendance, with plans to return in the summer to measure seed set). I will also be collecting ants from silver cholla and buckhorn cholla to compare the communities.
