Genetics, behaviour and chemical recognition of the invading ant Pheidole megacephala.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jan 2009

Fournier Denis, de Biseau Jean-Christophe, Aron Serge

Abstract excerpt

Introduced species often become ecologically dominant, displacing native species and posing a serious threat to ecosystem function and global biodiversity. Ants are among the most widespread and damaging alien species; introductions are often accompanied by population-level behavioural and genetic changes contributing to their success. We investigated the genetic structure, chemical profile and nestmate...
