Colony: A colony is a group of individuals of the same species living together in a cooperative manner. In the case of Linepithema humile, their colonies can contain millions of ants and span vast areas.
Competition:Competition occurs when organisms vie for limited resources such as food, water, or territory. Argentine ants are known for their aggressive behavior towards other ant species, competing with them for resources.
