• The Causes and Consequences of Ant Invasions (2002, background): “When these monogyne queens, which presumably possess the BB genotype at Gp-9, attempt to enter colonies that contain queens, they are likely killed by workers, (Tschinkel 1996, DeHeer & Tschinkel 1998, VanderMeer & Alonso 2002) as described above.”
• Kin recognition: an overview of conceptual issues, mechanisms and evolutionary theory (2010, background): “The first report for a green-beard gene was found in a study on spiteful behaviour in fire ants (Solenopsis invicta; Keller and Ross 1998), though these findings have been challenged (Vander Meer and Alonso 2002).”
