2013 article
Prey handling performance facilitates competitive dominance of an invasive over native keystone ant
Bednar, D. M., Shik, J. Z., & Silverman, J. (2013, August 22). Behavioral Ecology.
author keywords: Aphaenogaster rudis; Asian needle ant; discoverydominance trade-off; invasive species; Pachycondyla chinensis; Subterranean termite
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Plant and animal studies; Animal Behavior and Reproduction
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.

2011 article
Use of termites, Reticulitermes virginicus, as a springboard in the invasive success of a predatory ant, Pachycondyla (=Brachyponera) chinensis
Bednar, D. M., & Silverman, J. (2011, May 3). Insectes Sociaux.
author keywords: Invasive ants; Predation; Pachycondyla chinensis; Asian needle ant; Subterranean termites
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Plant and animal studies; Insect and Pesticide Research
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.
