BACKGROUND: The invasive garden ant, Lasius neglectus, is the most recently detected pest ant and the first known invasive ant able to become established and thrive in the temperate regions of Eurasia. In this study, we aim to reconstruct the invasio... Read More about The introduction history of invasive garden ants in Europe: integrating genetic, chemical and behavioural approaches.
