GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION IN RESOURCE DOMINANCE–DISCOVERY IN BRAZILIAN ANT COMMUNITIES
Open Access
Abstract
A predictive framework for the ecology of species invasions requires that we learn what limits successful invaders in their native range. The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) is invasive in...Keywords
