Journal ArticleDOI
The Causes and Consequences of Ant Invasions
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced genetic variation and the success of an invasive species
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of spread in biological invasions dominated by long-distance jump dispersal: Insights from Argentine ants.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Competitive mechanisms underlying the displacement of native ants by the invasive argentine ant
TL;DR: The findings imply that Argentine ants secure a majority of available food resources where this species comes into contact with native ants, and may be able to break the competitive trade-off constraining native ants because of their unique colony structure and because they have escaped their natural enemies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Animal behavior : an essential component of invasion biology
David A. Holway,Andrew V. Suarez +1 more
TL;DR: Behavioral analyses should be more fully integrated into research on biological invasions to enhance a general understanding of invasion processes and provide potentially underused opportunities for basic research in animal behavior.
