Controlling invasive ant species: a theoretical strategy for efficient monitoring in the early stage of invasion [PDF]

, 2018
Invasion by the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, has destructive effects on native biodiversity, agriculture, and public health. This ant's aggressive foraging behaviour and high reproductive capability have enabled its establishment of ...
