• Potential Global Range Expansion of the Invasive Fire Ant, Solenopsis invicta (2004, background): “This species may also have dramatic, wideranging impacts on the biodiversity of invertebrates in invaded areas (e.g., Porter and Savignano 1990; Morris and Steigman 1993; Gotelli and Arnett 2000; but see Morrison 2002).”
• An Ant Mosaic Revisited: Dominant Ant Species Disassemble Arboreal Ant Communities but Co‐Occur Randomly (2007, background): “Two recent studies (Gotelli & Arnett 2000, Sanders et al. 2003) showed that communities of native ants show highly nonrandom patterns of co-occurrence, but in the presence of dominant invasive ant species, co-occurrence patterns of the native community are indistinguishable from random.”
• Assembly rules of ground‐foraging ant assemblages are contingent on disturbance, habitat and spatial scale (2007, background): “A recent meta-analysis (Gotelli & McCabe, 2002) indicated that non-random species segregation is the rule, especially in ants (e.g. Cole, 1983; Gotelli & Arnett, 2000; Gotelli & Ellison, 2002; Sanders et al., 2003).”
• Immediate impacts of invasion by Wasmannia auropunctata (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on native litter ant fauna in a New Caledonian rainforest (2003, background): “…Caledonia is similar to that of other tramp species, such as P. megacephala in Australia (Hoffman et al. 1999; Vanderwoude et al. 2000), L. humile in northern California (Human & Gordon 1999) and the fire ant S. invicta in the southern United States (Porter & Savignano 1990; Gotelli & Arnett 2000).”
• The Causes and Consequences of Ant Invasions (2002, background): “…et al. 1999; Vanderwoude et al. 2000), (d ) largescale studies illustrating the effects of invasive ants on latitudinal gradients in ant diversity (Gotelli & Arnett 2000), and (e) lab and field studies (only some experimental) demonstrating that invasive ants differ from native ants with respect…”
• BIOGEOGRAPHY AT A REGIONAL SCALE: DETERMINANTS OF ANT SPECIES DENSITY IN NEW ENGLAND BOGS AND FORESTS (2002, methodology): “1604 R ep o r ts Key words: ant species richness; bog habitat; forest habitat; habitat complexity; latitudinal gradient; New England; New World ants; productivity gradients; species density; species–energy relationship; vegetation structure.”
• Bayesian inference in ecology (2004, background): “I derived priors for latitudinal gradients in temperate ants from Gotelli & Arnett (2000): b1 � N()0.017, 0.04); for effects of elevation from Gotelli & Arnett (2000) and Bru ¨hl et al. (1999): b2 � N ()0.002, 0.0003); and for differences between open habitats such as bogs and closed habitats such”
• Rainforest Canopy Ants: The Implications of Territoriality and Predatory Behavior (2007, background): “The shift from a structured to a random community is rapid, occurring within a year of invasion (Sanders et al. 2003; see also Gotelli and Arnett 2000 concerning Solenopsis invicta).”
• A Climate Model of the Red Imported Fire Ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): Implications for Invasion of New Regions, Particularly Oceania (2005, background): “It has a broad range of negative impacts on biodiversity (Allen et al. 1994, 2001, Gotelli and Arnett 2000) and urban environments (Lard et al. 2002), but mixed effects on agriculture (Davidson and Stone 1989).”
• Cascading extinctions as a hidden driver of insect decline (2020, background): “Invasive ants have been shown to impact many species, thereby changing community structures and ecological functions (Gotelli & Arnett, 2000; Sanders et al., 2003).”
