Non‐native ants drive dramatic declines in animal community diversity: A meta‐analysis
Non‐native ants can cause ecosystem‐wide ecological change, and these changes are
generally assumed to be negative. Despite this, the evidence base has never been …

The cryptic impacts of invasion: functional homogenization of tropical ant communities by invasive fire ants
The diversity and distribution of traits in an ecological community shapes its responses to
change and the ecosystem processes it modulates. This 'functional diversity', however, is not …

Pervasive and persistent effects of ant invasion and fragmentation on native ant assemblages
Biological invasions are a leading cause of global change, yet their long‐term effects remain
hard to predict. Invasive species can remain abundant for long periods of time, or exhibit …

Quantifying the impacts of symbiotic interactions between two invasive species: the tawny crazy ant (Nylanderia fulva) tending the sorghum aphid (Melanaphis sorghi)
The establishment of new symbiotic interactions between introduced species may facilitate
