Termites on the Savanna

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.

Your primary post must be mostly in your own words and should be at least 125 words. To some extent, the length is a gauge of how much effort you put into the post. To meet the length expectations, be sure to address the topic completely. Flesh it out with detailed explanations or examples as appropriate.
