Food Preference, Foraging Activity And Virtual Baiting Of The Forest Fire Ant, Tetraponera Rufonigra (JERDON) (Hymenoptera : Formicidae)
This dissertation focuses on the feeding preference, foraging behavior, population estimation, as well as control of the forest fire ant, Tetraponera rufonigra (Jerdon). Among different types of lipid food provided, T. rufonigra preferred egg yolk the most (P < 0.05). However, they did not show a...
