The ghost ant is highly adaptable in its nesting habits. It nests readily outdoors or indoors. Colonies may be moderate to large in size containing numerous reproducing females (polygyny). Generally, the colonies occupy local sites that are too small or unstable to support entire large colonies.
A macron (/ËmÃ¦krÉn, ËmeÉª-/) is a diacritical mark, a straight bar (Â¯) placed above a letter, usually a vowel. Its name derives from the Greek Î¼Î±ÎºÏÏÎ½ (makrÃ³n), meaning long, and was originally used to mark long or heavy syllables in Greco-Roman metrics. It now more often marks a long vowel. In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the macron is used to indicate a mid-tone; the sign for a long vowel is instead a modified triangular colon â¨Ëâ©. The opposite is the breve â¨Ëâ©, which marks a short or light syllable or a short vowel.
