817:) is a common invasive ant in people’s homes and in nature although it is native to parts of South America in lowland areas. The article introduces a very interesting theory about the global super colony that has been formed by these invasive ants. The article emphasized that it is dietary factors that affect recognition cues for ants and dictate how they interact. The article had strong points about the ant interactions and the differences between native and invasive species. The article lacked a section about Taxonomy/Phylogeny, which would have been very helpful to understand how these super colonies came to be. Additionally, we learn nothing about the hierarchy within a colony other than that the worker bees are sterile but they are able to direct egg development. A section about behavior based on climate for native ants would have been helpful to understand the differences between pest and native ants. This article is rated as C-class but of high importance because of the pestiness of these ants. Most of the critiques were centered on the validity of the information and questioning the idea of the super colony, which I agree could be improved. 932:
colonization and diverse colony cooperation was found to be false by a Stanford University study. West coast colonies had exhibited a suppressed fight response with like species but this was attributed to fight response gene suppression not lack of genetic diversity. One should note that within the study area (on campus grounds) there were colonies that did not cooperate with like species. South and East coast colonies were found to have a much higher fight response amongst each other than West coast colonies probably due to multiple introductions of the Argentine ant.

contaminated by several ant carcasses, the poor contact caused arcing, destroying the points and requiring replacement of the relay. There was no food or water source in the relay box, so the reason for the ants to crawl in there had to be something else, perhaps being attracted to the electric fields around the points. If suitable references could be found, this information might make an interesting addition to the article. —

nests in the neighborhood, and that's why it involved such a huge number of them, lasting so long. Prior to that I had dealt with smaller invasions from individual nests using the herein described recipe and the ants always stopped coming after 3 to 4 days of feeding at the bait dishes, with several months of respite between incursions. —

although the article does mention its native range, several of the countries and continents it has "invaded", and the locations of a few of the largest (and most notable) supercolonies, the article does not actually specify all of the locations where the Argentine ant has been found. For example, something like the one in

I think the Recipe needs to be adjusted to include more than a 1/4 Teaspoon of Borax. Because I tried the homemade bait on an Argentine Ant Trail and the ants disappeared within 3 days. But some days later, the Ants reappeared again. I'm thinking that I didn't use enough Borax in the Recipe and was

It's not likely that there's a "global" supercolony, but quite possible that there's a North American supercolony, as it is presumed that the ants got to North America as stowaways on a shipment of goods sometime in the late 1800s or early 1900s. That would make their descendants on the continent
