The Argentine ant, Linepithema humile: natural history, ecology and impact of a successful invader
The Argentine ant, Linepithema humile, is one of the world's worst invasive species, with
established populations in at least 40 countries on six continents. In this review, we …

Stranger Danger: Differential response to strangers and neighbors by a social carnivore, the Asiatic wild dog (Cuon alpinus)
The function of holding territories is primarily to have access to resources like food and
mates. However, it is costly in terms of energy and time investment. Solitary-living, territorial …

The Native Ant Lasius niger Can Limit the Access to Resources of the Invasive Argentine Ant
Simple Summary Invasive ants are often highly dominant competitors, having strong impacts
on native species. Such invaders often exploit resources better than native species, finding …

Local coexistence of native and invasive ant species is associated with micro-spatial shifts in foraging activity
JMW Gippet, L George, C Bertelsmeier - Biological Invasions, 2022 - Springer
Invasive species often displace native species by outcompeting them. Yet, some native
species can persist even in heavily invaded areas. The mechanisms mediating this local …

[HTML][HTML] Ant-observer: A new approach for automatic acquisition and autonomous analyses of individual species abundance and interactions
Traditional methods, such as direct observations or manually photographing bait stations,
are limited in both data collection efficiency and accuracy. Consequently, they fail to capture …

Effects of starvation on the fighting ability of invasive and autochthonous ants
Ants are widespread in all terrestrial habitats, and competitive interactions between species
are common. Although redistribution of food within a colony may buffer the negative effects …

Playing with the Dead: The Corpses of Dominant Territorials Inhibit the Activity of Subordinate Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Necrophobia is a widespread phenomenon in animals. Contact with a dead body may
involve a potentially fatal threat, as corpses are often sources of infections. Ants recognize …

Discrimination of conspecifics from heterospecifics in a hybrid zone: Behavioral and chemical cues in ants
Species and nestmate recognition in social insects occurs mostly through cuticular
hydrocarbons acting as chemical cues. These compounds generate a colony‐specific odor …
