| Abstract | Three species of Messor are the most common harvester ants in the Negev desert highlands. Their major food source is plant material, especially seeds. In this study, we report on the factors determining above-ground activity of those species. It is postulated that the main factors affecting ant activity are seed availability and air temperature. The food collecting strategy of the ants also plays an important role in determining activity. |
