Ants in Hawaii
Hawaii
is one of the few places on earth believed to harbor
no native ant species
. The extreme isolation of the island chain has meant that ants never managed to arrive on their own.
Today, over 40 ant species have become established in Hawaii.
This assemblage is unique in that nearly all the species qualify as "tramps" (species with habits and life histories that make them exceedlingly good at moving about in conjunction with human activity).
Among them are a majority of the world's most successful--and damaging--invasive species.
