“…A major advantage of ICF is that it enhances dispersal distance and allows for the production of many relatively cheap propagules. The main drawback is the extreme weakness of incipient colonies facing predation and competition (Wiernasz and Cole 1995;Gordon and Kulig 1998;Adams and Tschinkel 2001;Wiernasz and Cole 2003;Boulay et al 2007). Alternatively, dependent colony foundation (DCF) or colony fission has evolved independently in numerous species (Peeters and Ito 2001).…”

“…The effect of intraspecific competition has been studied in several ant species by correlating density with nest distribution (Elmes 1974, Ryti and Case 1986, Cushman et al 1988, Adams and Tschinkel 1995b, reproduction Case 1988, Gordon andWagner 1997), recruitment of new colonies Tschinkel 1995a, Cole andWiernasz 2002), and mortality (De Vita 1979, Gordon andKulig 1998). Fewer studies have experimentally tested density-dependent population regulation in ants.…”

“…Despite the fact that ant nests are relatively easy to map and follow their fates, few studies have addressed the issue of population dynamics through time (Chew, 1987;Keeler, 1993;Wiernasz and Cole, 1995;Gordon and Kulig, 1998;Adams and Tschinkel, 2001;Sanders and Gordon, 2004).…”
