Recruitment to and Defense of Aphids by Fire Ants and Native Ants and an Estimate of Their Trophic Positions Using Stable Isotopes

, 2008
The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, is an invasive ant known to form facultative mutualisms with aphids. Fire ants significantly reduce the abundance of aphid predators and herbivores on plants infested with aphid colonies.
