It was detected in surface soil samples collected from Kobe Port Island and Kyoto’s Fushimi District.   Ø   What are the concerns? ü   Both the areas have faced huge destruction caused by this invasive species called Argentine Ant. ü   Invasive ant species causing severe damage across the world. So, its early detection and rapid elimination is essential to control their populations. ü   However, current pest control methods in inefficient. Methods includes direct detection techniques like visual observation, classification, capture, elimination, observation and evaluation which requires special knowledge, labour and time.   Ø   What researchers suggests? ü   Researchers suggests, issue of Argentine ant cannot be eradicated by focusing on one species. They found, eDNA analysis effective in providing a useful tool to observe and evaluate invasion, estab...
