摘要: In this paper, we examine the hypothesis that reduced intraspecific aggression underlies competitive prowess of Argentine ants in their introduced range. Specifically, test three predictions by comparing genetic diversity, behavior, and ecology native range to populations. Differences between populations were consistent with our predictions. Introduced ant appear have experienced a population bottleneck at time
