Fire, Fire Ants, Grazing, and Threatened Wildlife

Multiple Stressors Affect Threatened Wildlife on Military and Ranch Lands

Fire, invasive fire ants, and grazing combine to impact threatened wildlife populations in upland habitats. Scientists from Archbold and the University of Central Florida are conducting a four-year experiment eliminating fire ants under different prescribed fire and grazing frequencies. The results will provide improved management recommendations for working lands throughout the Southeastern United States.
