Symbiotic microbiota may reflect host adaptation by resident to invasive ant species
D Cheng, S Chen, Y Huang, NE Pierce… - PLoS …, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Exotic invasive species can influence the behavior and ecology of native and resident
species, but these changes are often overlooked. Here we hypothesize that the ghost ant,
Tapinoma melanocephalum, living in areas that have been invaded by the red imported fire
ant, Solenopsis invicta, displays behavioral differences to interspecific competition that are
reflected in both its trophic position and symbiotic microbiota. We demonstrate that T.
melanocephalum workers from S. invicta invaded areas are less aggressive towards …
