Seasonal Dynamics of Red Imported Fire Ant (Solenopsis invicta) Colony Structures Across Camellia oleifera Plantations and Fishponds in South China [PDF]

Animals
The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta, RIFA) is a globally invasive species with strong sensitivity to environmental conditions. This study investigated the seasonal dynamics and colony structure of RIFA over the course of one year across two ...

Metamorphic testing of named entity recognition systems: A case study

IET Software, 2022
Named entity recognition (NER) is a widely used natural language processing technique; it plays a key role in information extraction from sentences. To be able to test the correctness of NER systems is important, but it is expensive because an automated ...

The Effect of Botanical Pesticides Azadirachtin, Celangulin, and Veratramine Exposure on an Invertebrate Species Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Toxins, 2023
The injudicious and excessive use of synthetic pesticides has deleterious effects on humans, ecosystems, and biodiversity. As an alternative to traditional crop-protection methods, botanical pesticides are gaining importance.

The ANTS problem [PDF]

Distributed Computing, 2016
We introduce the Ants Nearby Treasure Search (ANTS) problem, which models natural cooperative foraging behavior such as that performed by ants around their nest. In this problem, k probabilistic agents, initially placed at a central location, collectively search for a treasure on the two-dimensional grid.

Gut Microbiome Composition of the Fire Ant Solenopsis invicta: an Integrated Analysis of Host Genotype and Geographical Distribution

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Gut symbiotic bacteria are known to be closely related to insect development, nutrient metabolism, and disease resistance traits, but the most important factors leading to changes in these communities have not been well clarified.

Riding with the ants [PDF]

Persoonia - Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution of Fungi, 2017
Isolates of Teratosphaeriaceae have frequently been found in the integument of attine ants, proving to be common and diverse in this microenvironment. The LSU phylogeny of the ant-isolated strains studied revealed that they cluster in two main lineages.

Communication in ants [PDF]

Current Biology, 2006
Research shows that ants, and also honeybees and other species of social insects, use several pheromones or other signals in organizing their foraging system. Two important and connected questions, therefore, are to determine why multiple signals are needed and how they work together. Some progress has been made in the honeybee, where four dances and a
