Abstract

A survey of the locations of various ant populations in North Ireland Island in Bermuda revealed that the invasive Pheidole megacephala has continued to expand its territory at the expense of the equally invasive Linepithema humile, and has now become the dominant ant in this highly-disturbed area. However, pockets of the latter ant continue to exist, including a narrow corridor of territory cutting partly across the Royal Naval Dockyard from west to east.
