Estimation of the number of founders of an invasive pest insect population: the fire ant Solenopsis invicta in the USA.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Oct 2008

Ross Kenneth G, Shoemaker D Dewayne

Abstract excerpt

Determination of the number of founders responsible for the establishment of invasive populations is important for developing biologically based management practices, predicting the invasive potential of species, and making inferences about ecological and evolutionary processes. The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is a major invasive pest insect first introduced into the USA from its native South American range in...
