Breaking Bioclimatic Boundaries: Accidental Discovery of Overwintering Natural Populations of a Tropical Invasive Species in Northern China

2025-07-23

Abstract excerpt

We discovered a natural overwintering population of Pheidole megacephala in Beijing (39°N), northern China, which far exceeds the predicted distribution limit (28°N) of species distribution models. Genetic analysis and intraspecific aggression assays showed that the P. megacephala populations in Beijing consisted of two supercolonies, suggesting that their establishment involved at least two invasion events. Mea...
