This work was supported by the Virginia Agriculture Experiment Station Grant (VA-160193), the Virginia Tech New Faculty Start-up Funds (CCSY) and the Virginia Agricultural Council Grant (CCSY). a by informed 176 management, research efforts should prioritize developing innovative deeper understanding of species-specific biology and ecology such as behaviors, dietary preferences and colony structures. Tailored strategies are essential not only for improving control efficacy but also for minimizing unintended ecological impacts. This need is increasingly urgent given the growing diversity of invasive ant species arriving and becoming established in the United States. Acknowledgments References
