However for both types of sites, Pogonomyrmex (Ephebomyrmex) nagelli colonies were found in cleared sites used for transplants, with the number of translocated P. nagelli nests higher in areas which had not been treated with Mirex for S. invicta colony reduction. These results suggest that small colonies may be displaced by larger colonies of other species.212-214engArtigo10.1111/j.1439-0418.1993.tb01190.xWOS:A1993MA30600015Acesso restrito7251053552637553
