Population Genetics of the Invasive Fire Ant Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the United States

2006-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Analyses of population genetic variation in invasive species can provide information on the history of the invasions, breeding systems, and gene flow patterns. We surveyed genetic variation in both social forms of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), throughout the species' introduced range in the United States, to learn how the unique breeding biology of each form shapes...
