Abstract:The Argentine ant, Linepithema humile (Mayr, 1868), native to the Paraguay River in South America, was first discovered in Korea in 2019. With increasing reports of L. humile, its genetic variation according to domestic growth colonies and its effects on the domestic ecosystem should be studied. Here, the genomes of L. humile specimens found at three locations in Busan were analyzed for genetic changes. First, morphological observation of L. humile samples collected from the three sites showed no phenotypic di… Show more
