Three ecological characteristics associated with greater invasiveness also increase commercial success. (A) Habitat generalism and range size are positively linked to both commercial success and invasiveness. Worker body size is also positively linked to commercial success but is negatively linked to invasiveness (invasive ant species are smaller than noninvasive species). (B) Marginal effects (mean ± 95% CI) of each ecological characteristic linked to both invasiveness and commercial success according to the best-fitting negative binomial model explaining ant species commercial success (see SI Appendix, Table S5 for statistical details).
