Genetic divergence and aggressiveness within a supercolony of the invasive ant Linepithema humile

Biological invasions constitute an opportunity to study the evolutionary processes behind species’ adaptations. The invasive potential of some species, like the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), has likely been increasing because they show low intraspecific competition. However, multiple introduct...
