Invasive Yellowjacket Forages in Hawaii (IMAGE)

Existing traits, like a flexible diet, can explain why some transplanted species become invasive, but the way a new environment might alter the invader’s behavior is seldom considered. When yellowjackets invaded Hawaii, they began to form huge, multi-year colonies that disrupt native spiders and insects.
