Dr. James Wetterer, whose research focuses on the distribution and ecology of invasive ant species, surveyed Harare in Zimbabwe, as well as the town of Kariba, and some points in between in 2012.

He noted that "at all sites in Harare and a nearby game reserve, Pheidole megacephala dominates and few other species are to be found. I don't even find other widespread tramps."
