Abstract
On the basis of a survey of ants on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science, a checklist of species and brief descriptions of commonly seen nests is provided. Some observations, especially on diets and daily foraging patterns in a few selected species are also presented. The main objective of this study was to explore the potential of the campus ant fauna for future work in behaviour and ecology.
