Carpenter ants threaten giant Sequoias in Sequoia National Park
National Park Service hired myrmecologist Charles David to study carpenter ants in Sequoia National Park. He observed up to 200 ants a minute in three inch wide columns, while ants hollow out trees for nesting. Plant pathologist Parmeter notes fungus decay in roots, and ranger Hickey links ant concentrations to high human activity.
