Biology Discussion

Sometimes we are interested in the way that organisms are distributed across a particular habitat. Corina Tarnita's research on the spacing of termite mounds in savanna ecosystems is one example. Watch the Analyzing Patterns in the Savanna Landscape video, 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.
