• The Causes and Consequences of Ant Invasions (2002, background): “Early reports from the Argentine ant's introduced range described workers, queens, and brood moving freely among spatially separate nests (Newell & Barber 1913), and more recent studies have shown that a single large supercolony appears to occupy nearly the entire introduced range of L. humile in Ca”

• Supercolonies of the invasive yellow crazy ant, Anoplolepis gracilipes, on an oceanic island: Forager activity patterns, density and biomass (2005, background): “Second, reduced intraspecific aggression and subsequent allocation of energy and workers to tasks other than colony defence may assist in the maintenance of unicolonial populations and formation of spatially expansive supercolonies (Holway et al., 1998; Tsutsui et al., 2000 ).”
• Invasive species of Heracleum in Europe: an insight into genetic relationships and invasion history (2007, neutral): “It has been previously suggested that hybridization and inbreeding may be important incentives in evolution of invasive species during their initial establishment and subsequent range expansion (Barrett & Richardson, 1986; Ellstrand & Schierenbeck, 2000; Tsutsui et al., 2000).”
• Understanding the establishment success of non-indigenous fishes: lessons from population genetics (2007, background): “A good example for such a chance event, however, is the evolution of supercolonies in the invasive fire ant most likely promoted by a genetic bottleneck during the initial introduction followed by negative selection resulting in the loss of nestmate recognition alleles (Tsutsui et al., 2000; Giraud ”
• The Effects of Invasive Ants on Prospective Ant Mutualists (2004, background): “The latter studies are much more common, and we distinguish these two within this review, recognizing that native and invasive populations of the same species can differ significantly (Tsutsui et al. 2000).”
• HOW INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION INFLUENCE CONTEMPORARY INVASION DYNAMICS (2004, background): “This loss of genetic diversity resulted in a loss of intraspecific aggression in California and led to the formation of vast supercolonies (Holway et al. 1998, Tsutsui et al. 2000).”
• Marine invasion genetics: from spatio-temporal patterns to evolutionary outcomes (2014, background): “…processes involved with species introductions (e.g. Balanyà et al. 1994; Taylor and Keller 2007; Cadotte et al. 2009; Lawson Handley et al. 2011) and has boosted contentious scientific debates (e.g. genetic paradox in invasion biology, Tsutsui et al. 2000; Frankham 2005; Roman and Darling 2007).”
• Cultivar selection prior to introduction may increase invasiveness: evidence from Ardisia crenata (2006, background): “Genetic diversity is often lower in the introduced range than in the native range because of founder effects (Bartlett et al. 2002), which may even enhance invasiveness (Tsutsui et al. 2000).”
• Stealthy invaders: the biology of Cardiocondyla tramp ants (2006, background): “Tsutsui et al. (2000) argue that a general depletion of genetic variation (genetic bottleneck) in L. humile might also be associated with a loss of variation at those loci that code for the innate colony odour cues responsible for nestmate recognition.”
