The Community Ecology of Ants within Van Cortlandt Park:
Species Diversity, Nutrition and Behavior
Presented by Alex Byrne
Alex Byrne is The Field Scientist and Research
Coordinator for theVa Cortlandt
Park Alliance. As a Community Ecologist, Alex has worked on
projects ranging from frog communities of Adirondack ponds, the
influence of climate change on dragonflies and the water quality
of urban ecosystems. For the past 8 years Alex has shifted focus
to terrestrial insects, conducting one of the largest insect
inventories ever done within a NYC park. Alex will discuss ongoing
efforts to understand the diversity of ant species found within
Van Cortlandt Park with an emphasis on habitat selection,
morphology and behavior. Special attention will be paid to those
ants that interact with birds in the park.Join us for a
presentation on the community ecology of the little things that
run the world, Ants!
