First report of the invasive ant Nylanderia fulva (Mayr, 1862) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Panama
BIOINVASIONS RECORDS(2023)
Abstract
The ant Nylanderia fulva, is a native species of southern Brazil that has been introduced in several countries in the Nearctic, Neotropic and Palearctic. In the areas they invade, they establish very dense and extensive super colonies. Here, N. fulva is reported for the first time in Panama. All the stages and castes of this species were collected in six localities of the Boquete District, Chiriqui Province. We advocate for additional local searches and studies for N. fulva to provide information on the status of its distribution and to generate information on the various agricultural implications.
