(2005) 11 , 319 331 BIODIVERSITYRESEARCH ABSTRACT Analysis of long-term patterns of invasion can reveal the importance of abiotic factorsin influencing invasion dynamics, and can help predict future patterns of spread. Inthe case of the invasive Argentine ant ( Linepithema humile ), most prior studies haveinvestigated this species limitations in hot and dry climates. However, spatial andtemporal patterns of spread involving two ant populations over the course of 30 yearsat a high elevation site in Hawaii suggest that cold and wet conditions have influencedboth the ant s distribution and its rate of invasion.
