Integrative taxonomy reveals cryptic diversity in North American Lasius ants, and an overlooked introduced species
Abstract Biological invasions are a grave threat to ecosystems. The black garden ant (Lasius niger) is a pest species in Europe. Current literature states that L. niger occupies a disjunct native distribution in the Holarctic, however, based on recent work, we re-evaluate this distribution. The nati...
