TLDR
Yellow crazy ants on Bird Island significantly affected invertebrate communities on foliage and on the ground, both in terms of taxonomic composition and the density of specific taxa, apparently causing the local exclusion of some invertebrates.
Species-Wide Genetic Variation and Demographic History of Drosophila sechellia, a Species Lacking Population Structure
TLDR
While bottlenecks cannot account for the pattern of molecular evolution observed in this species, scenarios close to the null hypothesis of a constant population size are well supported and adaptive features specific to D. sechellia are discussed.
