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.

By: J. Shik n & J. Silverman n

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.
