Suwarrow Ant Surveillance Report 2025_Final.pdf
This report summarizes ant surveillance activities conducted on Suwarrow Island by Karen (Kas) Silk and Tracy Terei from the National Environment Service, with species diagnostics completed by Biosecurity staff, Heiarii Syme and Sarah Napa. This surveillance initiative aim to detect new invasive ant species and document existing species to support national biosecurity monitoring.
Sampling focused primarily on Anchorage Island due to the potential biosecurity risks from vessel arrivals and periods without ranger presence. Additional sampling were conducted across the atolls to establish baseline distribution data of ant species. All collected specimens were submitted for species identification to support ongoing invasive-species monitoring.
