Feeding behavior and social interactions of the Argentine ant Linepithema humile change with sucrose concentration

Liquid sugar baits are well accepted by the Argentine ant Linepithema humile and are suitable for the chemical control of this invasive species. We evaluated how sugar concentrations affect the foraging behavior of L. humile individuals. We quantified feeding variables for individual foragers (inges...
