Re: Texas Prairie web site

It has been my experience that the more intact - the more resistent. I
have even seen cohabitation of native ant species with IRFA. The biggest
problem we are facing here in Tx is polygyne mounds;although in true
remenant sites the monogyne mounds can still be seen. IRFA are about 2/3
the way through Tx.
