The diminutive supercolony: the Argentine ants of the southeastern United States
TLDR
The results show that the southeastern L. humile population has high genotypic variability and strong intercolony aggression relative to the California population, suggesting that distinctly different colonization patterns for California and the Southeast may be responsible for the striking disparity in the genetic diversity of introduced populations.

Nestmate discrimination in ants: effect of bioassay on aggressive behavior
TLDR
All live ant assays tested are useful tools for analyzing aggressive interactions between colonies, but that the pairing of a live and dead ant produced inconsistent results and generally lower levels of aggression.

Glucose aversion in the german cockroach, Blattella germanica

Hydramethylnon uptake by Blattella germanica (Orthoptera: Blattellidae) by coprophagy.
TLDR
Baits containing toxicants with delayed activity, such as hydramethylnon, probably affect cockroach field populations indirectly through coprophagy.

Carpenter Ants of the United States and Canada
TLDR
This book consolidates much of the literature on the important pest and other species in the genus Camponotus and provides geographic ranges and distinctive morphological and behavioral traits of North American species, with an illustrated key and detailed descriptions of structural pests.

The Argentine ant: challenges in managing an invasive unicolonial pest.
TLDR
It is suggested that prevailing control methodologies are incomplete and not compatible with the behavior, nesting habits, and population structure of this ant, and therefore, more aggressive management strategies are required.

Diet-Related Modification of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Profiles of the Argentine Ant, Linepithema humile, Diminishes Intercolony Aggression
TLDR
It is suggested that acquisition of common exogenous nestmate recognition cues from shared food sources may diminish aggression and promote fusion in neighboring colonies of the Argentine ant.

Is It Easy to Be Urban? Convergent Success in Urban Habitats among Lineages of a Widespread Native Ant
TLDR
The results indicate that T. sessile has colonized urban habitats repeatedly and appears to do so using life history strategies already present in more natural populations, and polygynous colony structure is a highly plastic trait across habitat, clade, and haplotype.

Propagule Pressure and Climate Contribute to the Displacement of Linepithema humile by Pachycondyla chinensis
TLDR
This work uses a combination of seasonal surveys and experimental approaches to test the relative importance of behavioral and abiotic factors in determining the local co-occurrence of two invasive ant species, the established Argentine ant and the newly invasive Asian needle ant.
