Although the forest floor is heterogeneous in microhabitat and food quantity, little is known about the impact of microhabi.tat and food variation upon resource monopoly among ants. We investigated how food type and microhabitat influence food monopoly in resource-defending ants in old-growth tropical wet forest in the Caribbean lowlands o'Í Costa Rica.
