2014 journal article
Aphid honeydew provides a nutritionally balanced resource for incipient Argentine ant mutualists
ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 95, 33–39.
author keywords: Argentine ant; invasive species; life history; Linepithema humile; mutualism; nutritional ecology
TL;DR:
It is suggested that carbohydrate access generally constrains Argentine ant life history and clarifies the links between the nutritional composition of food rewards and the stability of ecologically important mutualisms.

2013 journal article
Prey handling performance facilitates competitive dominance of an invasive over native keystone ant
BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY, 24(6), 1312–1319.
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.

2012 journal article
Effect of Scattered and Discrete Hydramethylnon Bait Placement on the Asian Needle Ant
JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 105(5), 1751–1757.
author keywords: Asian needle ant; Pachycondyla chinensis; hydramethylnon; granular bait; control
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / drug effects; Insect Control / methods; Insecticides / pharmacology; North Carolina; Pheromones / pharmacology; Pyrimidinones / pharmacology; Species Specificity; Time Factors
TL;DR:
It is suggested that Maxforce Complete Granular Insect Bait can be effective in an Asian needle ant treatment program and no overall difference in ant reductions is found from the edge out to 5 m beyond the treatment zone.

2012 journal article
Towards a nutritional ecology of invasive establishment: aphid mutualists provide better fuel for incipient Argentine ant colonies than insect prey
BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS, 15(4), 829–836.
author keywords: Dietary plasticity; Colony demography; Linepithema humile; Invasive species; Nutritional ecology
TL;DR:
Lab experiments show that resources from aphid mutualists had greater benefits for Argentine ant propagule survival, maintenance, growth, and worker activity rates than did prey items, and when colonies were otherwise starved, supporting a hypothesis that the dietary shift from prey to honeydew is driven more by increased access to hemipterans after establishment.
