The document summarizes an article published in 2003 by Discover magazine about ant colonies. It reported basic information on several ant species, including their scientific name, location, nest depth and size, and colony size. The article documented how new ant colonies begin and how nest designs vary between species, including vertical, horizontal, or inclined tunnels used for transporting food and ants.

1. 9/7/11 Warm Up: Describe the Ws, indicate the type of variable(s) In November 2003 Discover published an article on the colonies of ants. They reported some basic information about many species of ants and the results of some discoveries found by myrmecologist Walter Tschinkel of the University of Florida. Information included the scientific name of the ant species, the geographic location, the depth of the nest (in feet), the number of chambers in the nest, and the number of ants in the colony. The article documented how new ant colonies begin, the ant-nest design, and how nests differ in shape, number, size of chambers, and how they are connected, depending on the species. It reported that nest designs include vertical, horizontal, or inclined tunnels for movement and transport of food and ants.
