BIOTIC FACTORS IN THE FOREST ECOSYSTEM – OBSERVATION OF ANT RESPONSE TO DISTURBANCE Location of ants relative to transect On a Tree, North of Start of Transect Ant behavior without disturbance (10mins) Continuous motion in straight line in the estern direction with contrast to the transect specifically going to the ant hill positioned on a piece of land beside the tree Ant behavior with disturbance Type of disturbance Behavioral response Obstacles(leaves) Their line was cut yet they continued their motion in a line simply navigating away from the leaves Earthquake Simulation In comparison to their earlier speed, they moved faster, directing themselves away from the point of origin of the vibrations Wind Simulaion They stopped their motion, clinging onto the tree Sound Disturbance They didn't appear to be disturbed nor affected in any way Rain Simulation They simply navigated themselves through the rindrops towards the other end of the branch
