Journal Article
Drijfhout. (2008). The evolution of invasiveness in garden ants. PloS one, e3838 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0003838

It is unclear why some species become successful invaders whilst others fail, and whether invasive success depends on pre-adaptations already present in the native range or on characters evolving de-novo after introduction. Ants are among the worst i... Read More about The evolution of invasiveness in garden ants.
