Descrição
Ant invertebrate records were sampled using pitfall traps, at the Cape Peninsular National Park, in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve Section in 1999. The aim of this study, was to determine if ants were useful as indicators of recovery success in South African fynbos cleared of invasive alien plants by different clearing methods. Ant abundance, species richness, diversity, evenness, and composition were compared between treatment and control areas, at three sites in the Reserve. The alien clearing methods were comprised of several treatments (including multiple treatments in one site), including K1a: burnt, bulldozed and aerial sprayed; K1b:burnt, bulldozed and aerial sprayed; K2: burnt and aerial sprayed; K3: Control at the Klaasjagersberg site; M4: Control at the Meadows site, M5: Burnt and foliar sprayed; P6a: Burnt and boomsprayed, P6b: Burnt and boomsprayed, P7: Burnt and foliar sprayed, P8: Control site at the Platboom site. The overall study utilised both a vegetation survey and an ant survey, as indicators of recovery success in fynbos vegetation. Data was collected as part of a Postgraduate Masters Degree Project, with specimens contributing to the Iziko Natural History Collections. The Project was registered with the University of Cape Town, with the Institute for Plant Conservation and conducted in collaboration with Iziko Museums.

Métodos de Amostragem
A total of 20 pitfalls were installed in five quadrats per study site (4 pitfalls per quadrat). Each pitfall was then placed 2.5 meters from the corner, and one meter towards the inside of the quadrat. The pitfall traps were plastic cups, 9.5 cm deep with a diameter of 6.5 cm at the top, containing c. 75 ml of ethylene glycol. The pitfall trapping survey was conducted from late February to March 1999 for a period of one month. For each quadrat, two samples were processed at random, yielding a total of 100 pitfall traps. Twice the number of pitfall traps was installed to counteract losses and breakage of traps. After the installation of pitfall traps, samples were collected after 31 days. On return to the laboratory, saltwater extractions were used to separate organic matter from inorganic matter and the resultant liquid was cleaned. Samples were stored in 80 % ethanol. Ants were separated from other invertebrates and sorted to morphospecies based on external morphological characters. A reference collection for the reserve, housed at the Iziko South African Museum, Cape Town, was used for identifying species, and voucher specimens from each site were mounted and added to this collection. In cases where large numbers of ants of one species were found, the contents of the pitfalls were sub-sampled for that species, from which the estimated total number was calculated.
