Estimating timber losses from a town ant colony with aerial photographs

Abstract

Aerial photographs were used to locate an individual nest of Atta texana (Buckley) and to estimate the area of damage in a plantation of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Stumpage loss from the nest over a period of 30 years was estimated to be $653.
