HOW INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION INFLUENCE CONTEMPORARY INVASION DYNAMICS (2004, background): “In addition, humans often disperse populations in multiple long-distance jumps (Novak and Mack 2001, Suarez et al. 2001).”
Spatial dynamics of supercolonies of the invasive yellow crazy ant, Anoplolepis gracilipes, on Christmas Island, Indian Ocean (2006, background): “This rate of movement is within the range of Argentine ants, L. humile (Suarez et al., 2001), but greater than the big-headed ant, P. megacephala (Hoffmann et al., 1999), both species that disperse by colony budding (See Table 2).”
The biology of the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida, Coleoptera: Nitidulidae): Gaps in our knowledge of an invasive species (2004, positive): “The pattern of small hive beetle spread is probably dominated by long-distance jump dispersal as in Argentine ants (Suarez et al., 2001).”
Spatiotemporal patterns of intraspecific aggression in the invasive Argentine ant (2002, background): “Native to South America, Argentine ants have become established in Mediterranean and subtropical climates throughout the world (Suarez et al. 2001; Tsutsui et al. 2001) where they commonly displace native ants (Bond & Slingsby 1984; Ward 1987; Cammell et al 1996; Human & Gordon 1996; Holway 1998;…”
The influence of sociality on the conservation biology of social insects (2001, background): “…of South America that has been accidentally exported by human commerce to other parts of the world over the past century, including the U.S.A., where it was ®rst detected in 1891, Europe, South Africa, Australia and many Oceanic islands (Passera 1994; Holway & Suarez 1999; Suarez et al. 2001).”
Argentine ants displace floral arthropods in a biodiversity hotspot (2007, background): “With human assistance, it has spread throughout Mediterraneantype environments and subtropical islands (Suarez et al ., 2001).”
Development of inland lakes as hubs in an invasion network (2005, background): “For example, the dispersal of the Argentine ant Linepithema humile and non-indigenous plants has been accelerated due to human-mediated introductions at several locations (Mack & Lonsdale 2001; Suarez, Holway & Case 2001 ).”
Methods for estimating long-distance dispersal (2003, background): “The greatest emerging challenge we see is related to the rapidly increasing homogenization of biotas by humanmediated dispersal (Mack et al. 2000, Nathan 2001b, Suarez et al. 2001).”
The Colony Structure and Population Biology of Invasive Ants (2003, background): “Spreading primarily via humanmediated transport, the Argentine ant is now found on six continents and numerous oceanic islands (Suarez et al. 2001).”
The Causes and Consequences of Ant Invasions (2002, background): “Because rates of spread by budding are so low [i.e., on the low end for terrestrial organisms (Grosholz 1996)], species that undergo colony reproduction solely by budding depend largely on human-mediated dispersal to colonize new and distant locations (Suarez et al. 2001).”
Consensual predictions of potential distributional areas for invasive species: a case study of Argentine ants in the Iberian Peninsula (2009, background): “Native to the Rı́o de la Plata region in South America (Tsutsui et al. 2001; Wild 2004), Argentine ants are now established in many Mediterranean-type and subtropical areas worldwide (Suarez et al. 2001).”
Characterizing and predicting species distributions across environments and scales: Argentine ant occurrences in the eye of the beholder (2009, background): “Native to central South America (Tsutsui et al ., 2001; Wild, 2004), L. humile now occurs worldwide, especially in areas with Mediterranean-type climates (Suarez et al ., 2001).”
The spatial spread of invasions: new developments in theory and evidence (2004, background): “For many invading species, the key to understanding dispersal is measuring human transport processes, such as the movement of Argentine ants (Suarez et al. 2001) and Phytophthora lateralis disease spores (Jules et al. 2002) by cars and trucks, or of zebra mussels by boats (Buchan & Padilla 1999).”
Impacts of Argentine ants on mealybugs and their natural enemies in California’s coastal vineyards (2007, background): “In California, it was first recorded in 1907 ( Woodworth, 1908 ) and is now widespread in urban environments and in low-elevation areas, particularly those with disturbed habitats and some soil moisture ( Human et al. , 1998; Suarez et al. , 2001 ).”
Ecological genetics of invasive alien species (2011, background): “normal with a narrow variance) rather than normal (Ibrahim et al. 1996; Suarez et al. 2001).”
