+Based on the trends observed throughout the study it can be concluded
+that antlions are dependent on a number of environmental conditions when
+they settle. This is shown through the various effects that introducing
+various environmental conditions had on their antlions settlement, as
+introducing fake pits into the habitat significantly increased the
+antlions tendency for extreme behavior and caused the standard
+distribution pattern they follow to be altered the most, as shown by
+Graph 2, which illustrates how the most extreme values for pit depth,
+nearest neighbor, and cannibalism occurred when fake pits were
+introduced to the enclosure. Along with this, the data suggests that
+antlions are also dependent on the presence of antlions trials in an
+area, as the trials where trails were erased also slightly altered the
+settlement patterns of the antlions. Finally, it can be concluded that
+obstructions such as rocks have a minimal effect on the antlions
+distribution patterns, as the trial with the introduction of rocks and
+obstacles did not result in any extreme behavior from the antlion
+population. With these patterns in mind, it can be concluded that
+antlions do not have a method of communication, as their settlement
+patterns were disturbed by normal environmental conditions. Despite
+this, it can also be concluded that antlions distribute in a non-random
+way in an enclosure, as shown by the aforementioned statistical
+analysis, thereby indicating that antlions rely on several environmental
+and local indicators to determine where to settle, such as the density
+of pits in a given region and the prevalence of trials near a given
+territory.
