Chapter 4, Section 3, Exercise 116 Lizards and Invasive FireAnts This exercise addresses lizard behavior in response to fireants. The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, is native toSouth America, but has an expansive invasive range, including muchof the southern United States (invasion of this ant is predicted togo global). In the United States, these ants occupy similarhabitats as fence lizards. The ants eat the lizards and the lizardseat the ants, and in either scenario the venom from the fire antcan be fatal to the lizard. A study explored the question ofwhether lizards learn to adapt their behavior if their environmenthas been invaded by fire ants. The researchers selected lizardsfrom an uninvaded habitat (eastern Arkansas) and lizards from aninvaded habitat (southern Alabama, which has been invaded for morethan 70 years) and exposed them to fire ants. They measured howlong it takes each lizard to flee and the number of twitches eachlizard does. The data are stored in FireAnts. If lizards adapttheir behavior to the fire ants, then lizards from the invadedhabitats should flee from the fire ants faster than lizards fromthe uninvaded habitats. Test this hypothesis. Time to flee ismeasured in seconds, and lizards taking more than a minute to fleehave recorded responses of 61 seconds. Let group 1 be lizards frominvaded habitats and let group 2 be lizards from uninvadedhabitats.
