• Ecological Effects of Invasive Arthropod Generalist Predators (2006, background): “In a few cases, invasive ants have established mutualistic relationships with other invasive species, presumably hastening invasion by both (nicely reviewed by Holway et al. 2002 and Ness & Bronstein 2004).”
• How common are invasion-induced ecosystem impacts? (2011, background): “producing honeydew used by the ants and the ants tending the hemipterans, moving them and protecting them from predators (Ness and Bronstein 2004; Rico-Gray and Oliveira 2007).”
• Impacts of Argentine ants on mealybugs and their natural enemies in California’s coastal vineyards (2007, background): “In agricultural and ornamental ecosystems, Argentine ants have long been associated with outbreaks of honeydew-producing homopterans ( Bartlett, 1961; Way, 1963; Buckley, 1987; Lach, 2003; Ness & Bronstein, 2004 ).”
• Impacts of exotic invertebrates on New Zealand's indigenous species and ecosystems (2010, background): “…exotic ant species, including Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) and red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) are known to invade natural habitats, reducing native ant diversity and disrupting ecosystem processes (Holway et al. 2002; Ness & Bronstein 2004; Rowles & O’Dowd 2007; Langkilde 2009).”
