Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amount of photosynthetic production, length of the warm season, and diversity of plants are all factors that contribute to the number of ant species in a given biome. These factors provide a source of food and shelter for the ants, which can lead to increased diversity. Sunlight, soil type, predators, air pressure, humidity, and rainfall may also play a role, but they are less significant factors compared to the availability and diversity of plant life.
