| FIG. E1. Ant activity (mean ± SE) during field experiment 2. Fine grid: small-mesh plots. Coarse grid: large-mesh plots. The dotted line separates small ant species from large ant species. (a) Average number of ants per day on a bait. (b) Percentage of days that at least one worker was present at the bait. Notice how small ants tend to be more active in small-mesh plots compared with large-mesh plots, while large ants tend to be more active in the large-mesh treatment (see text for details and statistical analysis). |

| FIG. E2. Final ant densities in the leaf litter (mean ± SE) for field experiment 2. Fine grid: small-mesh plots. Coarse grid: large-mesh plots. The dotted line separates small ants from large ants. Small ants were more abundant in small-mesh plots than in large-mesh plots. In contrast, large ants were more abundant in large-mesh than small-mesh plots (see text for details and statistical analysis). |
