Unique venom proteins from Solenopsis invicta x Solenopsis richteri hybrid fire ants
Toxicon: X, 2021 The Solenopsis venom protein 2 transcript was amplified, sequenced, probed, and analyzed from Solenopsis invicta x Solenopsis richteri hybrid ant colonies (hybrids) collected from across Tennessee to determine the extent of introgression of each parent ...

Toxicity of Ant Venom, Further Studies of the Venom from Pogonomyrmex barbatus.
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1965 SummaryAs previously suggested from earlier and cruder extraction procedures (2) and as now verified, the actual venom material is far more toxic than the earlier homogenized agent. The present work indicates that 1.29 mg/kg of the relatively pure material is equivalent to 24 mg/kg of the abdominal homogenate utilized previously(2). The pure extract is

Children &Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Modern deaths have become reiterations. That is, despite exhibiting a seemingly high‐level of diversity in death's representations in everyday lives, death suffers from a particular onto‐epistemological poverty that prevents it from being imagined otherwise.

Host plant use is driven by microclimate not nutritional quality in a grassland butterfly
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Small Copper butterflies (Lycaena phlaeas) choose to lay eggs on host plants growing in warmer microclimates, despite lower nitrogen content. Bare ground created by European Moles increases host plant temperatures and weakens the negative relationship between nitrogen content and microclimatic warmth.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Anthropogenic linear features facilitate high‐elevation colonization. Parasitoid pressure declines markedly with elevation. Cocoon damage increases despite reduced parasitism at high elevation. Abstract The upper elevational range limits of thermophilic arthropods reflect constraints on population persistence rather than simple presence.

Proteomic analysis of the venom of the predatory ant Pachycondyla striata (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) [PDF]
, 2017 The ants use their venom for predation, defense, and communication. The venom of these insects is rich in peptides and proteins, and compared with other animal venoms, ant venoms remain poorly explored.
