Studies conducted with animals
To determine which seed species are preferred by fire ants, we set up a cafeteria-style experiment in which we presented fire ants with seeds of native species and recorded the rate of removal in eight separate trials. However, several species….,…, Sabatia calycina & … were discontinued after one or two trials due to lack of interest by ants even after extended periods of exposure. (Cumberland et al 2013)
