Hibernation Conditions Contribute to the Differential Resistance to Cadmium between Urban and Forest Ant Colonies
Trace metals such as cadmium are found in high concentrations in urban environments.Animal and plant populations living in heavily contaminated environments could adapt to trace metals exposure.A recent study shows that urban populations of the acorn ant Temnothorax nylanderi are more resistant to cadmium than their forest counterparts.However, thi
