TL;DR: The genome sequence of the honeybee Apis mellifera is reported, suggesting a novel African origin for the species A. melliferA and insights into whether Africanized bees spread throughout the New World via hybridization or displacement.

TL;DR: Experimental studies and research focused on the native range ecology of invasive ants will be especially valuable contributions to this field of study.

TL;DR: This article examined the behavior and population genetics of the invasive Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) in its native and introduced ranges, and provided a mechanism to explain its success as an invader.

TL;DR: Many museums and academic institutions maintain first-rate collections of biological materials, ranging from preserved whole organisms to DNA libraries and cell lines, and these collections make innumerable contributions to science and society in areas as divergent as homeland security and safety, monitoring of environmental change, and traditional taxonomy and systematics as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The invasion history of the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), a widespread invasive species, is reconstructed at three spatial scales using a combination of literature review, museum records, and personal surveys to improve the predictive power of future modeling efforts.
