Kathleen Treseder, a senior at the U., spent last summer in Borneo studying the interactions between ants and certain types of plants called epiphytes. Epiphytes are plants that live attached to other plants, without taking nutrition from the host plant. "It's a plant that's really unusual as ' far as plants go," Treseder said. "It has hollow leaves, and ants bring in nitrogedebris. The plants grow roots n-rich into debris, so essentially the ants are providing the plant's nutrients" Originally, Treseder went to Borneo to assist a graduate student who was studying forest restoration after logging. But Treseder was encouraged by her mentor, Dinah Davidson, to develop her own project, which resulted in Treseder's theory that plants benefit from the ants. Prior to Treseder's research, scientists only speculated that plants bene-se- e Shirley Ririe to retire leaving internationally Ttying to Relax ...
