biology.usgs.gov — Ants are not native to Hawaii and are a significant threat to endemic insects which have not evolved in their presence. This resource is a study of the palila, an endangered honeycreeper that inhabits the dry subalpine slopes of Mauna Kea. The ants are a threat because they are potential predators of insects upon which the Palila feed.
