What you need to know about the threat of invasive ants

Australia is a hotspot for ants

More ant species call Australia home than anywhere else in the world.

So a lot of eyebrows were raised when $28.8 million was allocated in Australia’s 2019-20 budget to fight just three specific ant species.

But these bad guys have the potential to change Australia’s outdoor lifestyle if not controlled, and all experts agree that not acting could cost more. In Queensland alone, the state government predicts costs of about $43 billion over 30 years if just one of those ants is left unchecked.

We spoke to some experts to find out why — and what all of us, even city-dwelling non-experts, can do to help.

Why ants are important

Ants may be small and annoying when they come into your house or attack your picnic, but they are hugely important to the larger environment. Ants are the Earth’s dominant animal group in terms of biomass, so in sheer numbers alone they matter.

“Ants are really good bioindicators,” says CSIRO health and biosecurity principle research scientist Ben Hoffmann.

That is, they play such a crucial role that land managers can check the health of the whole local environment by monitoring ants. If invasive ants move in and take over, the whole system suffers.

Mr Hoffmann says ants play a really important role for farmers and gardeners by digging tunnels that make it easier for water to soak into soil, cleaning up nature’s waste, and moving nutrients. And lots of Australian plants have evolved to rely on ants to bury their seed for them.

Seeds often have a nutritious outer section called an elaiosome, so the ants carry the seed back to the nest, eat the elaiosome, then leave the still-intact seed to grow — in what’s now well-fertilised, well-drained soil.

This happens all around the world, mostly in desert areas. But in Australia our ants have taken it to the next level, adapting this seed-collecting to almost every corner of the country.

Ants often protect mature trees by eating pests such as caterpillars, but they can also work against trees by protecting sap-sucking insects that then build up in huge numbers and overwhelm the plant. The ants farm the bugs, harvesting the sweet secretions they produce.

Invasive ants tend to do this a lot and the presence of trees — and bugs that ants can harvest — plays a major role in fuelling the march of invasive ants across new territories. Red fire ants, which are invading Brisbane, spread at a rate of 48 kilometers a year in Texas between 1957 and 1977, and up to 80 kilometers per year in China.

Of the 30 introduced species in Australia, the budget money targets the red fire ant, the crazy yellow ant, and the Argentine ant (but only in Norfolk Island). Argentine ants are found across Australia but they are too well established to fight any more. Now the battle is on to stop the others — and getting people ant-aware will be the key to winning.

“Public vigilance is one of best aids to a program like this,” Mr Hoffmann says.

“THE MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE ENGAGED AND LOOKING, THE MORE WE FIND, AND THE MORE QUICKLY THEY CAN BE CONTROLLED.”

What turns a good ant bad?

Ant expert Mr Hoffmann says the official number of 1,621 ant types in Australia could be a fraction of the actual number.

“There’s possibly up to 30,000 native ant species in Australia. We don’t know.”

What we do know is that when visiting ants occasionally rock up — usually via cargo on boats — they find Australia very accommodating. They settle in so well they kill off the native ants and can kill bees, birds, reptiles, native mammals, pets — even humans who are badly stung or allergic. Ant invasions in the house can really bug the best of us, so here are some natural ways to keep them at bay.

‘Invasives’ also pose an economic threat, attacking crops and livestock and affecting exports — because no-one wants to risk bringing killer ants into their country.

The threat to our outdoor lifestyle is also huge.

That’s where Mr Hoffmann comes in. As part of his work with CSIRO health and Biosecurity in Darwin, Mr Hoffmann oversees and advises on the major ant eradication programs in Australia. He led the program that eradicated the African big-headed ant from Lord Howe Island, and has been working to control the yellow crazy ant (yes, its real name) from the Gove Peninsula in East Arnhem Land, NT.

Mr Hoffmann says many invasive species are particularly adept at quickly building large populations and overwhelming other species.

“Some form multi-queen colonies with no specific boundaries and cooperate with each other, so you end up with a supercolony. Ironically, these are often easier to control because they are self-containing, so it’s easy to draw a line around the boundary and treat the whole area.

“Fire ants have queens that can fly 5 kilometres to a new location, so it’s harder to draw a line around the colony.”

How do we stop the spread of invasive ants?

Humans are often responsible for introducing ants to new areas, so getting people to check potted plants, cuttings, fruit, garden furniture, beehives, and baled hay or straw before moving them is a key to stopping the spread.

Many areas have already introduced industry regulations controlling the movement of compost, soil, turf, mulch, manure, and quarrying/mining material. Time running out to wipe out red fire ants There is “only a small window of opportunity left” to wipe out the red fire ant, according to a report obtained by the ABC.

While Queensland is Ant Central now, huge numbers of holiday-makers visit the infested areas — from Port Douglas and Brisbane to Darwin and Arnhem Land — so we all need to be ant-smart to avoid giving a free ride to unwanted insect guests.

Biosecurity Queensland’s science manager Ross Wylie says, “The public report approximately 70 percent of all finds that we get of fire ants.”

The challenge is to keep public support going until the ant is fully eradicated; even a tiny colony can quickly re-populate an area.

However, always take green waste and other rubbish to a local tip — don’t dump it in the bush — and check pot plants and garden material before moving or buying.

Queenslanders can report sightings and ask for a backyard check by calling (07) 4241 0525 (Cairns region) or by registering online. Residents of WA can use a local pest guide to identify pests.

Why Visit Heron Island?

As a traveler to the island, you’ll find yourself gifted a first-hand view of the famous migrating turtles who arrive to lay and hatch their eggs, as well as of the local sea life, all from one of the most natural and breathtaking coral cays in the world.

Each year, between the months of October and April, Heron Island plays the role of breeding ground to countless Green and Loggerhead turtles, and of course, their hatchlings. While this is amazing in itself, the turtles aren’t merely arriving on the island for the first time.

Rather, they’re completing a wonderful and unbreakable cycle, 30 years in the making. The turtles are born on Heron Island and they return about 30 years later, ready to lay their eggs and complete the circle of life. This annual phenomenon is a sight not to be missed, particularly when the migrating turtles and their hatchlings join the 4,000 local turtles who permanently reside on the island.

As General Manager of Heron Island Resort Sandy McFeeters shares, there’s no other sight quite like it.

“Heron Island is truly an amazing place to be part of the annual laying and hatching of the Green and Loggerhead turtles,” she says. 

“Watching these giants of the sea lug themselves up the beach and settle in to lay up to 120 eggs per clutch is one of the most amazing and breathtaking things to see.”

The see this incredible hatchling happen in front of your eyes, all you need to do is wait for a couple of hours after the evening’s high tide and then walk along the peaceful Heron Beach. When you spot a couple, you know you’re near babies as well. Remember to keep an eye out for the tracks in the sand, which show where the turtles have emerged from the ocean. Be sure to focus on the hatchlings, who will rush toward the safe ocean once they have been born.

Where Is Heron Island?

Heron Island is a part of the Great Barrier Reef and sits on the western side of Heron Reef, about 85km off the coast of Australia.

Technically a part of one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the island and its surrounding reefs are popular tourist hotspots. This makes Heron Island the perfect blend between a serene island escape and a humming destination with enough excitement to quench any thirst and warrant a visit!

You can visit the island as a one-off adventure, or combine it with an exploration of other nearby island destinations. The Whitsundays nearby is comprised of more than 70 islands ranging in size and amenities, so there is plenty to do in this part of the world if you want to explore!

If you do decide to make a beeline for Heron Island, not only is it easily accessible to visitors (whether they’re coming over for the day or are guests at the resort) but there’s also plenty to do in between watching the turtles. Even if scuba diving isn’t your idea of a relaxing time, grab yourself a snorkel and discover the natural masterpiece living below the water’s surface.

Keen to visit a tropical island in Queensland but Heron Island doesn’t quite tick all the boxes for you? Consider exploring the beautiful white sand beaches of the Whitsundays, or the stunning far north Queensland destination of Port Douglas. Discover the pros and cons of each destination here!

Will Your Visit to Heron Island Harm the Local Ecosystem?

Gregory Adams/Getty Images

Importantly, the people who run Heron Island are fully aware of the impact that human traffic can have ​on the local ecosystem.

As a result, Heron Island has partnered with the Sea Turtle Foundation, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to safeguarding sea turtle populations, migration routes, and habitats. 

Though sea turtles have been swimming in the world’s oceans for over 120 million years, today’s turtle populations face an uncertain future. Heron Island is committed to educating people and protecting the beautiful Green and Loggerhead turtles. They do this by giving guests a number of opportunities to learn, through guided walks, information sessions and junior ranger programs, to help guests understand and support these amazing creatures.

Why You Need To Book A 'FITcation'

Forget fat camps and health retreats, ‘FITcations’ are the new wellness holidays worth scheduling. Fusing the chill factor of a proper vacation with the lifestyle overhaul elements of fitness and nutrition, QT Port Douglas is pioneering a FITcation program that includes accommodation along with a health consultation, a personal training session and private yoga as well as a spoil-worthy spa treatment to reward yourself for all your hard work. Sigourney checked in and reported back…

“I’m really not feeling very fit when I arrive…

Reading the 6.45am start time on my itinerary doesn’t faze me, because I have small gremlins that wake early, but I imagine normal people might find it confronting on their holiday. But, interestingly – I’m up even before the kids, bounding out of bed at 6am. Queensland is an hour behind Sydney in summer, and light from 5am, so it’s actually pretty easy to get up early. I decide to walk to the beach, grabbing a takeaway (almond milk!) latte from the restaurant on my way.

Port Douglas – in far North Queensland - is idyllic, to say the least. A laid back, but stylish enclave an hour north of Cairns, Port (as the locals call it) is fringed by the Daintree Rainforest on one side and The Great Barrier Reef on the other. The water is Caribbean blue, the seafood is fresh and plentiful and it’s bikini season all year round – in other words, just the kind of place you want to get fit and healthy. 

As I cross the highway and wander down a path to the beach I actually trip over some mangoes that have fallen from a tree above me. This very fruit that goes for $5 a pop in Woolworths are splayed all over the ground, rotting wastefully and becoming fruit fly fodder.

Emerging from the dim rainforest onto the beach, I’m struck by the vast horizon shimmering with the golden light of sunrise. I have to restrain myself from throwing myself into the water because there’s a risk of being stung by jellyfish that migrate to these waters during summer…it’s also not uncommon for crocodiles to lurk around the beaches. You can swim at a net patrolled by the surf club in town but most people stick to the resort pools this time of year – like the incredible one at the QT.

Suddenly it’s time to get back - I trot back to the QT Fitness club to meet their Health and Fitness Coach Jeremy Lebeuf - an amiable Canadian who looks like he eats TRX bands for breakfast. He takes me out to a little clearing under some palm trees where he’s set up some witches hats and tells me I’m welcome to get Damien and the kids to come. I love this – Damo was just saying to me that he needed to do some exercise, so I call him to come down and start the warm up while Jeremy explains the concept of the FITcation.

“Often when people come away they forget to do any exercise and make really poor choices with food, they get home feeling worse – they almost need a holiday from their holiday,” says Jeremy. “We want to offer guests an opportunity to leave feeling amazing, and to be able to incorporate positive things into their lifestyle back home.”

The family arrives and Damien and I embark on a circuit of burpees, sprints, jump squats and some particularly challenging bunny hops that I know I’m going to feel well into next week. In the soupy humidity, it’s pretty tough but I’m so distracted by the tropical foliage that I barely notice the pain in my quads. The kids are having a grand time stacking witches hats and copying us. “The family that trains together, stays together” quips Jeremy, cajoling us into another set.

Later that day as we loll around the pool, I actually feel quite worthy. Instead of going for the burger as I normally would at a resort, I opt for grilled octopus with kale and chorizo. Oh okay, and a mojito. But that’s the point – the fitcation isn’t asking us to swap pina coladas for protein shakes (although they do have smoothies on offer at the buffet breakfast). It’s about enjoying yourself as much as it is about being healthier. And with that, I climb with Lulu onto a giant inflatable mattress and we bob around the fabulous lagoon style pool to some very agreeable Bob Marley riffs. 

The fun doesn’t stop there. The next morning I head to the spa for a one hour massage with the fabulous Spa Manager Kelly, before meeting Jeremy for a one-on-one yoga session. Let’s just say, a massage followed by yoga is perfection. I’m so focused, chilled out and limber (thanks to Kelly’s gentle pummeling) that I’m able to stretch much more than usual. (Which, mind you, is not much). When we reach the standing poses, I am a strong, stable centuries-old tree – rather than my usual shaky twig in the breeze. I lie back for Savasana in such a state of bliss, listening to Jeremy’s gentle voice rise and fall above the rustle of the wind through the hibiscus plants, that I very nearly fall asleep. 

The next few days go by in a blur of activity and (mostly!) guilt-free food and, as we check out, I check in with my body. I’ve got sore glutes and thighs, my core is engaged and my stomach is… um, actually flat (!!). It seems that with my daily egg white omelettes and salads, the odd hot chip doesn’t appear to have made a dent (see? Balance!) Unlike my usual post-holiday remorse I’m actually energized and ready to return to work. Which is exactly what a holiday is supposed to do.”

Research on network design

Research analysis for the given case study.

Provide a report based on the research on the articles and current networks that are available in the market. Base the research on 2-3 similar companies that have similar configuration as needed for this case study.

Provide an Information system analysis for the network design for the case study based on the following deliverables. 1. Physical and logical layout of the ICT network infrastructure to be deployed at Palm View Resort 2. Estimation of hardware/software cost for the whole network system

Base the analysis on references from current systems in place.

Case Study Details A recently formed company has the primary objective of developing, promoting and servicing a Holiday Resort in the North of Queensland. They are critically aware of the need for a completely integrated information technology system to support the various aspects of the Resort. They have approached you to design and implement a proposed system as your reputation has grown since your group saved the state library from a recent worm virus disaster. The outline of the proposed business venture is as follows. Your assignment report is not restricted to what is contained here, as your research might extend the initial requirements. It has been written deliberately as not to be too prescriptive in its operational area. It is important that the group research what is in the market place to ensure that this new venture is competitive and innovative in what it offers. Proposal: “Palm View Resort: Port Douglas” The resort will be located in the North of Queensland on a 10 acre site that has beach frontage, with palm trees forming a barrier between the beach and the resort gardens, and is in close vicinity to the small village town. The company has been granted the correct building and planning permits and has commenced the layout of the proposed site. You are required to include the final proposed physical layout in your report with as much detail as required to facilitate the exercise outlined below. There are two classifications of clients that will be catered for. The company recognizes the need to have a dual operation in order to assist with the financing of the project. Villa Purchasers: They will have 30 villas that will be owned by members of the general public. These will be sold before building commences at the market price. This is done as it offers a significant tax break for the purchaser and the exercise this will directly effect the opportunity to secure the finance to complete the project. These clients have full access to the resorts facilities including pool, tennis courts, restaurants and anything else offered to other guests. (Your decision) The owners of these units can either occupy these villas fulltime or rent them out to holiday clients through the resort management. The villas will be 2 or 3 bedroom fully self contained units with parking available. All villas will be completely IT serviced with all entertainment and communication available. This is part of the service agreement that is recognized in the purchasing contract. However, there are ongoing service costs that must be paid as part of the agreement which is dependent on the time that they spend there. Holiday Makers: In addition there will be a further 20 villas and 40 rooms with ensuite available for the occasional guest who would like to stay at the resort for a holiday. As outlined above the 20 villas will be 2 to 3 bedroom fully self contained units with parking available. The villas are serviced weekly, and always cleaned and serviced before letting. The 40 hotel rooms will only cater for 2 people maximum, wither double or shared twin. Unlike the villas they offer no cooking facilities, only coffee and tea making equipment. The hotel rooms are serviced daily and require a good servicing schedule to be implemented. General Operation: As previously discussed all accommodation is serviced at various times. The hotel has different areas that deal with all aspects of running the business. They offer numerous entertainment options and are involved with outside businesses to ensure that the holiday makers enjoy their stay. (You are required to decide what is to be offered as part of your research into the field.) A major part of their business is the promotion of the resort as they need to maximize the room
