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
The number of queens: An important trait in ant evolution
Bert Hölldobler,Edward O. Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: The discussion of the ecological consequences of polygyny and monogyny leads to a deeper understanding of territoriality, spacing and species packing in ants.

Role of Ants in Pest Management
M. J. Way,K. C. Khoo +1 more
TL;DR: In view of their abundance, their stability as populations, and their feeding habits, ants have a major influence in many habitats and may be useful in pest management, but such positive attributes must be weighed against possible disadvantages.
