The displacement of a species from a habitat by actions of another is the most severe
outcome of interspecific interactions. This review focuses on recent developments in the …

Despite mounting calls for predictive ecological approaches rooted in physiological
performance currencies, the field of invasive species biology has lagged behind. For …

Climate change and biological invasions are among the greatest threats to biodiversity, and
their impacts might increase by the end of this century. Among invasive species, ants are a …

Urbanization is thought to lead to the loss of biodiversity both because of habitat disturbance
and the increased abundance of invasive species. However, most studies of biodiversity in …

Ants figure prominently among the worst invasive species because of their enormous
ecological and economic impacts. However, it remains to be investigated which species …

Ants are among the most problematic invasive species. They displace numerous native
species, alter ecosystem processes, and can have negative impacts on agriculture and …

Following its introduction from Asia to the USA, the Asian needle ant (Pachycondyla

Invasive species generally occur and thrive in human-disturbed ecosystems, but
Brachyponera chinensis (Asian needle ant, formerly 'Pachycondyla chinensis') also invades …

A successful invasion of novel habitat requires that non-native organisms overcome native
abiotic and biotic resistance. Non-native species can overcome abiotic resistance if they …

The Argentine ant, Linepithema humile, is one of the world's worst invasive species, with
established populations in at least 40 countries on six continents. In this review, we …
