• Fuelling the biodiversity crisis: species loss of ground-dwelling forest ants in oil palm plantations in Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo) (2010, background): “gracilipes supercolonies reach densities of up to 2,250 ants per m(2) (O’Dowd et al. 2003; Abbott and Green 2007) and cover large areas.”
• New Zealand island restoration: seabirds, predators, and the importance of history (2010, background): “These ants have increased to form a large part of the island’s animal biomass, facilitated by positive interactions with native honeydew-producing scale insects (Abbott & Green 2007).”
