investigation into the effects of glyphosate on a yellow meadow ants ability to chose a food source Abstract: Yellow meadow ants play a vital role in our ecosystem and this experiment looks at how glyphosate alters their decision making when choosing a food source.

I hypothesised that there would be more ants moving to the side without the glyphosate because of their

Fire Ants Fire ants have been in the United States for over sixty years‚ and almost every American that lives in or frequently visits the quarantined states which they inhabit has had an unpleasant run in with these troublesome critters.
