• Stealthy invaders: the biology of Cardiocondyla tramp ants (2006, background): “At approximately the same time, L. humile became established in New Orleans (Suarez et al., 1999) and only 40 years later S. invicta was introduced to the United States (Vinson, 1997).”
• Spatiotemporal patterns of intraspecific aggression in the invasive Argentine ant (2002, background): “Within introduced populations, however, intraspecific aggression is almost entirely absent and Argentine ants form expansive supercolonies (Newell & Barber 1913; Markin 1968; Hölldobler & Wilson 1990; Way et al. 1997; Suarez et al. 1999; Tsutsui et al. 2000; Giraud et al. 2002).”
• Experimental Evidence of Large-Scale Unicoloniality in the Tramp Ant Wasmannia auropunctata (Roger) (2004, methodology): “As unicoloniality has been well studied in the Argentine ant, we used a standard behavioral assay commonly employed in such studies (Holway et al., 1998; Suarez et al., 1999; Tsutsui et al., 2003).”
• Nestmate discrimination in ants: effect of bioassay on aggressive behavior (2003, methodology): “For this test, aggression was interpreted as a level 3 or 4 response for assays using the 0‐4 aggression index ( Suarez et al., 1999 ) and as at least one fight in the live 5-5 assay.”
• The Colony Structure and Population Biology of Invasive Ants (2003, background): “In their native range, Argentine ant colonies typically consist of multiple nests occupying relatively small territories that are aggressively defended against other colonies although larger colonies (spanning hundreds of meters) can be found (Suarez et al. 1999; Tsutsui et al. 2000).”
• Reconstructing routes of invasion using genetic data: why, how and so what? (2010, background): “…differ in the relative nce: Arnaud Estoup, Fax: +33 0 4 99 62 33 45; p@supagro.inra.fr well Publishing Ltd importance given to three major components: ‘range extension’ (Facon et al. 2006), ‘high local abundance’ (Suarez et al. 1999) and ‘disruption of ecosystem function’ (Mooney & Hobbs 2000).”
• Differences in growth and foraging behavior of native and introduced populations of an invasive crayfish (2009, background): “natural densities (Capelli 1975; Stein 1977; Nystro ¨m 2002).”
• Interference competition by Argentine ants displaces native ants: implications for biotic resistance to invasion (2006, methodology): “Behavioural interactions between Argentine ants and each native species were assessed by using the same categories as in assays for intraspecific aggression between Argentine ants from different colonies (Suarez et al. 1999; Roulston et al. 2003).”
• The Causes and Consequences of Ant Invasions (2002, background): “In its native Argentina, L. humile coexists with many other species of ants (Suarez et al. 1999), including competitive dominants such as S. invicta and S. richteri.”
