Colony-structure variation and interspecific competitive ability in the invasive Argentine ant.

Oecologia - 1 Jan 2004

Holway David A, Suarez Andrew V

Abstract excerpt

The success of some invasive species may depend on phenotypic changes that occur following introduction. In Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) introduced populations typically lack intraspecific aggression, but native populations display such behavior commonly. We employ three approaches to examine how this behavioral shift might influence interspecific competitive ability. In a laboratory experiment, we reared...
