• The invasive Yellow Crazy Ant and the decline of forest ant diversity in Indonesian cacao agroforests (2008, background): “Anoplolepis gracilipes is a generalist with respect to nesting sites and food preferences and can develop supercolonies in warm and moist soils and litter layers (Abbott 2006) and is thus likely to profit from low tree densities at the cost of native tree-nesting and -foraging species.”
• The role of ants in conservation monitoring: If, when, and how (2006, background): “Insular systems, such as Christmas Island (O’Dowd et al., 2003; Abbott, 2005, 2006), Hawaii (Lach, 2005), and Mauritius (Fisher, 2005), appear most vulnerable to ‘meltdown’ due to supercolonies of invasive ants aided by introduced mutualists.”
