• An Ant Mosaic Revisited: Dominant Ant Species Disassemble Arboreal Ant Communities but Co‐Occur Randomly (2007, background): “…competition might be the “hallmark of ant ecology” (Hölldobler & Wilson 1990), perhaps its importance, relative to other interactions (Gotelli 1996, Feener 2000) or factors such as variation in the abiotic environment, microclimate, or disturbance (Majer & Nichols 1998), is minimal or…”
• Individual and collective foraging decisions: a field study of worker recruitment in the gypsy ant Aphaenogaster senilis (2009, background): “Feener (2000) considers that ant colonies face a tradeoff in the allocation of scouts that search for food versus recruits that remain in the nest awaiting notification of the food discovery.”
• Colonisation by a dominant ant facilitated by anthropogenic disturbance: effects on ant assemblage composition, biomass and resource use (2003, background): “phorid flies, Feener 2000 ), and even random distribution of species amongst sites (Ribas and Schoereder 2002) may be more important.”

• A REVIEW OF TRAIT-MEDIATED INDIRECT INTERACTIONS IN ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES (2003, background): “Feener (2000) reviews the literature on parasitoid-mediated competitive interactions in ants and suggests that such TMIIs have widespread and important effects on the composition of ant communities and ant species in- vasions.”
• The Causes and Consequences of Ant Invasions (2002, background): “L. humile appears to lack phorid fly parasitoids (Orr et al. 2001) despite earlier reports to the contrary (Orr & Seike 1998, Feener 2000).”
