Habitat Associations of Red Imported Fire Ants (Solenopsis invicta) and Introduced Populations of Pseudacteon spp. Phorid Flies

open access: yesSociobiology, 2014
Habitat selection is one of many aspects of red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren, (RIFA) that has been intensively studied since their initial introduction in the United States.

Direct and Indirect Effects of Invasive vs. Native Ant-Hemipteran Mutualism: A Meta-Analysis That Supports the Mutualism Intensity Hypothesis

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Mutualism can facilitate the colonization, establishment, and spread of invasive species. By modifying interactions with third parties, mutualisms can have cascading community-wide effects.

Spatio‐temporal shifts in British wild bees in response to changing climate

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Climate plays a major role in determining where species occur, and when they are active throughout the year. In the face of a changing climate, many species are shifting their ranges poleward.

Arboreal ants use the "Velcro® principle" to capture very large prey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Plant-ants live in a mutualistic association with host plants known as "myrmecophytes" that provide them with a nesting place and sometimes with extra-floral nectar (EFN) and/or food bodies (FBs); the ants can also attend sap-sucking Hemiptera for their ...

Rapid and Effective Electrical Conductivity Improvement of the Ag NW-Based Conductor by Using the Laser-Induced Nano-Welding Process

open access: yesMicromachines, 2017
To date, the silver nanowire-based conductor has been widely used for flexible/stretchable electronics due to its several advantages. The optical nanowire annealing process has also received interest as an alternative annealing process to the Ag nanowire

Recent Trends and Opportunities for the Targeted Immuno-Nanomaterials for Cancer Theranostics Applications

open access: yesMicromachines, 2022
The targeted delivery of cancer immunotherapies has increased noticeably in recent years. Recent advancements in immunotherapy, particularly in blocking the immune checkpoints (ICs) axis, have shown favorable treatment outcomes for multiple types of ...

Communication in ants [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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

Climate‐driven phenological shifts in emergence dates of British bees

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Climate change has a diverse range of impacts on wild bees, including their phenology or timing of life history events. Climate‐driven phenological shifts can not only impact individuals at species level but also threaten the vital pollination service ...

Host plant use by competing acacia-ants : mutualists monopolize while parasites share hosts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Protective ant-plant mutualisms that are exploited by non-defending parasitic ants represent prominent model systems for ecology and evolutionary biology.
