摘要：

A polygynous fire ant infestation decimated the native ant community of a blackland prairie in north central Texas. Species richness declined 66% and native ant abundance declined 99% while the total number of ants increased 4-fold when compared with uninfested prairie. Where fire ant numbers were reduced through the application of an insect growth regulator, native ants were not decimated, but did not have the diversity of the uninfested area.
