• Experimental Evidence of Large-Scale Unicoloniality in the Tramp Ant Wasmannia auropunctata (Roger) (2004, background): “Formerly confined to human-modified ecosystems, it now spreads over a wide range of natural habitats and occurs throughout most lowlands (Jourdan, 1997; Jourdan et al., 2001, 2002; Le Breton et al., 2003 ).”
• Niche opportunity and ant invasion: the case of Wasmannia auropunctata in a New Caledonian rain forest (2005, background): “It is equally efficient at exploiting ground-level resources (Le Breton et al. 2003, 2004).”
• Impact of the Little Fire Ant, Wasmannia auropunctata, on Native Forest Ants in Gabon 1 (2006, unknown): “…previous studies have established the capacity of exotic W. auropunctata populations to drastically reduce the diversity of ants and other arthropods (Clark et al. 1982, Lubin 1984, Guilbert et al. 1994, Jourdan 1997, Le Breton et al. 2003), all of these studies have concerned island ecosystems.”
• Contribution of cocoa plantations to the conservation of native ants (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Formicidae) with a special emphasis on the Atlantic Forest fauna of southern Bahia, Brazil (2007, background): “This situation corresponds to what should be expected in many wet forest areas of the Neotropical region although the ant impact is drastically stronger in remote non-native areas (Jourdan 2003).”
• Invasional 'meltdown' on an oceanic island (2003, background): “Most analyses focus on the direct effects of invasive alien ants, primarily on assemblages of native ants and other arthropods (e.g. Holway 1999; Le Breton et al. 2003; Sanders et al. 2003), although a few studies have explored indirect effects, mainly on plants (e.g. Bond & Slingsby 1984; Carney…”
