Mathematician-turned biologist Dr. Corina Tarnita describes the importance of termite mounds in a savanna ecosystem. Termite mounds are biological hotspots that concentrate nutrients and water in semi-arid savanna ecosystems. When viewed from above, the mounds form a strikingly regular polka-dot pattern. Dr. Corina Tarnita uses mathematical modeling to explain the regularity of the pattern, how it arises, and how the mounds enhance the stability of the ecosystem.
