<br/><br/>  Thirty-six species of ant were collected in the central Namib Desert during the period 1981 to 1985. The majority of ant species occured on the gravel plains. Thirteen species were strongly associated with perennial vegetation reflecting the ant's requirements for honeydew, nectar and/or nesting sites. The vast majority of ant species were not dependent on perennial vegetation and relied primarily on seeds, insects or both for food. The taxonomic composition of the ant faunas from the Namib Desert and Sahara Desert are shown to share many similarities and examples of ecological convergence between these two ant faunas are indicated
