Standard deviation from ungrouped data. The standard deviation is a summary measure of the differences of each observation from the mean.

New World army ants (Ecitoninae) are nomadic group-predators that are widely thought to have a substantial impact on their prey.

Like most army ants, E. hamatum conducts narrow âcolumn raidsâ and has a specialized diet of ant prey.
