Influence of seed size on feeding preferences and diet composition of three sympatric harvester ants in the central Monte Desert, Argentina
Selective seed consumption by harvester ants may affect seed abundance and composition and, ultimately, plant communities. We evaluated the influence of seed size on preferences and diet of Pogonomyrmex mendozanus, P. rastratus, and P. inermis in the central Monte Desert, Argentina. In choice experi...
