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

“…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. We then built species distribution models (SDMs) for B. chinensis and some of the native species that B. chinensis is most likely to impact. …”
