While Wolbachia are commonly found among arthropods, intraspecific infection rates can
vary substantially across the geographic populations. Here we report nearly 100 …

Supercoloniality is a social structure displayed by many invasive ant species, but there has
been surprisingly little research quantifying the extent to which individual species display …

The yellow crazy ant Anoplolepis gracilipes is an invasive species that threatens biodiversity
in introduced ecosystems. We sequenced the A. gracilipes mitogenome using next …

The yellow crazy ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) is a widespread tropical invasive species that
causes ecological damage in introduced habitats; their negative impacts are especially …

Asexual reproduction and hybridisation are often found among highly invasive plants and
marine invertebrates. Recently, it has been suggested that clonality may enhance the …

Populations of invasive species are often studied when their effects are perceived as a
problem. Yet observing the dynamics of populations over longer time periods can highlight …

Lack of biological knowledge of invasive species is recognised as a major factor contributing
to eradication failure. Management needs to be informed by a site-specific understanding of …

Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are important cues for nestmate discrimination and
intraspecific aggression in ants. In invasive ants, diminished CHC profile diversity is …

Many introduced species become invasive despite genetic bottlenecks that should, in
theory, decrease the chances of invasion success. By contrast, population genetic …

Understanding a haplodiploid species' social structure and quantifying relatedness among
individuals are both important when designing sampling schemes or identifying potential …
