• The little things that run the world revisited: a review of ant-mediated ecosystem services and disservices (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) (2012, background): “Five out of the fourteen insect species listed as the worst alien species in the IUCN Global Invasive Species Database and Early Warning System are ants (CHAPMAN & BOURKE 2001, GISP 2012).”
• Predicting the invasion risk by the alien bee-hawking Yellow-legged hornet Vespa velutina nigrithorax across Europe and other continents with niche models (2011, background): “…and bees, are among the most successful invaders of new habitats worldwide, their reproductive and dispersal strategies making them fierce antagonists of native biota (Hingston and McQuillan, 1999; Chapman and Bourke, 2001; Holway et al., 2002; Paini and Dale Roberts, 2005; Inoue et al., 2008).”
• Invasion Status and Potential Ecological Impacts of an Invasive Alien Bumblebee, Bombus terrestris L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Naturalized in Southern Hokkaido, Japan (2004, background): “In its introduced range, B. terrestris appears to have rapidly evolved to adapt to new environments, since its newly obtained traits greatly enhance its productivity and hence presumably expand its ecological niche (Chapman & Bourke, 2001).”
• Effects of Cultivation and Proximity to Natural Habitat on Ground-nesting Native Bees in California Sunflower Fields (2006, background): “Social or primitively eusocial species such as the two halictid species would be expected to be present more consistently across the season than solitary species such as Melissodes sp. due to their sociality (Chapman and Bourke, 2001).”
• Behavioural plasticity associated with propagule size, resources, and the invasion success of the Argentine ant Linepithema humile (2009, background): “Large incipient populations have a higher chance of establishment because they have an increased ability to retrieve resources, find suitable habitats (Chapman & Bourke 2001) and overcome unfavourable conditions (Moller 1996).”
• Seasonal spatial dynamics and causes of nest movement in colonies of the invasive Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) (2006, background): “Each nest was assigned to one of two seasons, cool, wet (November to April) or hot, dry (May to October) according the month when the nest was first found.”
• The Effects of Invasive Ants on Prospective Ant Mutualists (2004, background): “For the sheer breadth of mutualistic interactions and invasive potential, few groups rival the social Hymenoptera (Hölldobler and Wilson 1990; Kearns et al. 1998; Chapman and Bourke 2001; Holway et al. 2002).”
