My project focuses on whether the chemical PFOS has an effect on the biodiversity of ants. In more detail, I am looking to find if an area contaminated by PFOS will show lower levels of biodiversity in that area. I will collect several ant samples of different species from an area contaminated by PFOS as well as ant samples from a non-contaminated site. Following, the ant samples will be barcoded to show the biodiversity of tha ants and compare the results to the different sites.
