2013 journal article

Prey handling performance facilitates competitive dominance of an invasive over native keystone ant

BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY, 24(6), 1312–1319.

By: D. Bednar n, J. Shik n & J. Silverman n

author keywords: Aphaenogaster rudis; Asian needle ant; discoverydominance trade-off; invasive species; Pachycondyla chinensis; Subterranean termite
TL;DR: The experimental approach using live prey to study interspecific competition can integrate evolutionary dynamics into studies of proximate behavioral factors governing species coexistence. (via Semantic Scholar)

2011 journal article

Use of termites, Reticulitermes virginicus, as a springboard in the invasive success of a predatory ant, Pachycondyla (=Brachyponera) chinensis

INSECTES SOCIAUX, 58(4), 459–467.

By: D. Bednar n & J. Silverman n

author keywords: Invasive ants; Predation; Pachycondyla chinensis; Asian needle ant; Subterranean termites
TL;DR: The behavior of P. chinensis in the presence of termites increases their competitive abilities in natural areas where they have been introduced, and it is suggested that subterranean termites are critical for P.chinensis success in new habitats. (via Semantic Scholar)
