The researchers found, however, that after being immersed in water for long periods of time, the surfaces may start to lose their hydrophobic properties. Enter the spiders and fire ants, which can survive long periods under or on the surface of water. How? By trapping air in an enclosed ar...
which in many land plants tend to be abaxially located in order to conserve water (except in floating macrophytes, in which case they are typically adaxial). Phytopathogenic fungi have been isolated fromaquatic plants(Joye, 1990), as well as several types of endophytic fungi (especially fromPe...
The ants hold tightly to each other, forming a floating disk atop the water. The antraft may float for months seeking safe harbor. The ants on the bottom don’t drown, and the ants on the top stay dry. Working together, the ants float to safety — even though a single ant alone in...
In Florida we saw several small snakes fall prey to them. No antidotal therapy exists; however, the use of antihistamines, topical steroid ointments, topical alcohol, and warm water baths may provide symptomatic relief. Fire ants generally build mounds in warm, sunny areas, places similar to ...
