Risk assessments are fundamental to invasive species management and are underpinned
by comprehensive characterization of invasive species impacts. Our understanding of the …

The abundance of many invasive species can vary substantially over time, with dramatic
population declines and local extinctions frequently observed in a wide range of taxa. We …

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) studies on invertebrates commonly use ethanol as the
main sample fixative (upon collection) and preservative (for storage and curation). However …

Invasive species are known to exhibit boom and bust cycles. We report population declines
of one of the world's most serious ant invaders, Anoplolepis gracilipes (Smith)(yellow crazy …

Yellow crazy ants (Anoplolepis gracilipes) are a significant threat to biodiversity due to a
rapidly expanding range and the potential to disrupt ecosystem interactions at multiple …

Thriving populations of invasive species often decline, but the mechanisms behind such
declines are rarely elucidated. The microbial community living within insects can have …

Invasive species threaten many ecological communities and predicting which communities
and sites are invasible remains a key goal of invasion ecology. Although invasive ants often …

For conservation ecologists, the justification for restoration that involves the removal of
invasive species is often made on the perception of impacts on biodiversity. However …

Because different sampling techniques will provide different abundance values, it is
currently difficult to compare results among many studies to form holistic understandings of …

Invasive ants are one of the largest threats to Pacific island ecosystem conservation. I
investigated effective ant control options by examining the relative attractiveness of five …
