Abstract

Colonies of Formica obscuripes Forel and Dolichoderus taschenbergi (Mayr), two of the most common and widespread species of predacious ants in jack pine stands of the Sandilands Provincial Forest of southeastern Manitoba, were transplanted to new locations in three young jack pine plantations. When nests of the two species were alternated and spaced at intervals of 20 m, little migration occurred; a spacing of 5 m resulted in excessive movement subsequent to the transplant.
