Corina Tarnita’s research on the spacing of termite mounds in savanna ecosystems
Sometimes we are interested in the way that organisms are distributed across a particular habitat, as described in Chapter 16. Corina Tarnita’s research on the spacing of termite mounds in savanna ecosystems is one example. Watch the video about her research, found at: https://youtu.be/nJGpABrEatc, and then address the following:
- What do you think is the most interesting aspect of Tarnita’s research?
- Discuss how the termite mounds benefit other organisms on the savanna.
