The genome of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
Ants have evolved very complex societies and are key ecosystem members. Some ants, such as the fire ant Solenopsis invicta , are also major pests. Here, we present a draft genome of S. invicta ,

Does mutualism drive the invasion of two alien species? The case of Solenopsis invicta and Phenacoccus solenopsis.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Although mutualism between ants and honeydew-producing hemipterans has been extensively recognized in ecosystem biology, however few attempts to test the hypothesis that mutualism between two alien species leads to the facilitation of the invasion ...
