Santa Cruz Island Reserve

25 Mar, 05 AM - 29 Mar, 08 AM

Ant sampling on Santa Cruz Island in 2014 is scheduled for March and July. In both months, I will sample ants at nine paired long-term plots, with each pair consisting of a plot with the Argentine ant (invaded) and a plot without this species (uninvaded). All plots consisted of a 10-m radius circle (314 m2) located in continuous tracts of island scrub oak (Quercus pacifica) woodland. I will conduct visual sampling for ants at all plots in both March and July. In each month I will also sample Quercus pacifica leaf litter at each plot and use Winkler extractors to remove ants from this material. I will also place five pitfall traps in each plot. After removal from the field all ant specimens were preserved in 90% ethanol.
