"Invasive alien tramp ants are a diverse group of species originating from many regions of the globe which in Australia through a variety of transport pathways. They share genetic, behavioural, and ecological attributes that influence their probability of entry, establishment and spread, ecological dominance, and high impact. While their impacts on biodiversity in Australia are not well quantified, many tramp ants have the ability to affect Australia's native biodiversity. Their impacts may be felt direct
t varying stages in the invasion process, so the nature and scale of management responses will vary accordingly. The tramp ant threat abatement plan establishes a national framework to guide and coordinate Australia's response to tramp ants, identifying
nd its territories by protecting threatened native species and ecological communities, and preventing further species and ecological communities from becoming threatened"--Publisher's website.
