The effect of diet and opponent size on aggressive interactions involving caribbean crazy ants (Nylanderia fulva). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Biotic interactions are often important in the establishment and spread of invasive species. In particular, competition between introduced and native species can strongly influence the distribution and spread of exotic species and in some cases ...

Urban tropical forest islets as hotspots of ants in general and invasive ants in particular
Scientific Reports, 2022 Urbanization is a crucial driver of environmental and biodiversity change. It is suggested that urbanization favours generalist and invasive species and might harm specialists of natural and semi-natural habitats.

Dry habitats were crucibles of domestication in the evolution of agriculture in ants
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017 The evolution of ant agriculture, as practised by the fungus-farming ‘attine’ ants, is thought to have arisen in the wet rainforests of South America about 55–65 Ma.

Morphophysiological differences between the metapleural glands of fungus-growing and non-fungus-growing ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The metapleural gland is an organ exclusive to ants. Its main role is to produce secretions that inhibit the proliferation of different types of pathogens.
