Species Distribution Models Reveal Varying Degrees of Refugia From the Invasive Asian Needle Ant for Native Ants Versus Ant‐Plant Seed Dispersal Mutualisms by Drew Kanes, Daniel Malagon, Ben Camper, Anna Hewitt, Simon Dunn, Eva Purcell, Sharon Bewick

“…The goals of this study were to characterize the status of the B. chinensis invasion in GSMNP, to assess the role that disturbance and human visitation play in B. chinensis invasion within GSMNP, to identify the potential of B. chinensis to spread into higher elevations in the park and the southern Appalachians and to determine the impact that this might have on native species, including keystone seed‐dispersers within the Aphaenogaster rudis complex and their myrmecochorous plants. We surveyed GSMNP for B. chinensis at 45 sites, including sites that were burned during the 2016 Gatlinburg fire, sites with high human visitation, and undisturbed sites. …”
