BRYANT WALKING TRAILS
An Ecological Experience
Ant Hill (Formicidae)

Along the trail you will find insects and creatures such as this small habitat for ants. Countless ants transport and deposit seeds and thereby influence the survival, death, and evolution of many plant species. In higher plants, seed dispersal by ants has appeared many times independently in different lineages. More than 3,000 plant species are known to utilize ant assistance to be planted. Be careful when you’re walking not to destroy their home!
