This
site
provides
a
summary
of
an
on-going
ecological
biocomplexity
research
project
that
began
in
the
mid-1970's.
Coined
the
"Portal
Project,"
because
of
its
location
near
the
southeastern
Arizona
town
of
Portal,
research
has
been
conducted
on
24
plots
for
over
20
years.
This
research
primarily
focuses
on
the
interactions
of
ants,
rodents,
and
desert
plant
species.
