Understanding Stress Response in Superorganisms: A Multi-Level and Cybernetic Approach. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAll multicellular organisms have a nested stress response system, and understanding how stress effects propagate across biological levels is key to predicting their impact on the organism or superorganism. Superorganisms, like honeybee and ant colonies, represent good models to study stress response systems across different levels of biological ...

Fipronil-infused sodium polyacrylate gels provide effective management of Argentine ants in conservation areas. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciThe current study evaluated the potential of sodium polyacrylate (ACR) hydrogels to effectively deliver liquid baits to Argentine ants. Laboratory and field trials demonstrated that: (i) fipronil is highly effective for Argentine ant control in natural areas when used in low concentrations (0.005%); (ii) ACR hydrogels are an effective tool for ...

Controlling yellow jackets with fipronil-based protein baits in urban recreational areas [PDF]
International Journal of Pest Management, 2016 ABSTRACTThe western yellow jacket, Vespula penyslvanica (Saussare), is a serious seasonal pest of outdoor venues in the western United States. In the spring, queens and low numbers of workers were captured in heptyl-butyrate-baited traps until early July, when the number of foragers dramatically increased.

Mechanism of leaf‐cutting ant colony suppression by fipronil used in attractive toxic baits [PDF]
Pest Management Science, 2016 AbstractBACKGROUNDAttractive toxic baits are the prevailing method for managing leaf‐cutting ants in the eucalypt forests planted for the production of pulp, paper, timber and charcoal. For successful use in these baits, the insecticidal compounds need to circumvent the typical defences of the eusocial leaf‐cutting ants.

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 11, Page 4328-4334, November 2023., 2023 The baseline susceptibility of Haemaphysalis longicornis to organophosphate, carbamate and pyrethroid acaricides was calculated using a larval package approach. Results indicate that the Asian longhorned tick is susceptible to pyrethroids, coumaphos and carbamates, and should also be effective for controlling H. longicornis.

Lethal and sublethal toxicity of Fipronil and Imidacloprid on Psyttalia concolor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). [PDF]
, 2011 Psyttalia concolor (Szèpligeti) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a koinobiont endoparasitoid of several species of tephritid (Diptera) larvae, such as Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann).

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 10, Page 4004-4010, October 2023., 2023 The current study evaluated the potential of termite cuticular extract to improve the efficacy of commercial bait used for controlling invasive Asian needle ants. Results of laboratory trials demonstrate that the attractiveness of commercial bait is significantly increased by the addition of termite cuticular extract.

Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Infectious diseases pose a significant threat to global health and biodiversity. Yet, predicting the spatiotemporal dynamics of wildlife epizootics remains challenging. Disease outbreaks result from complex nonlinear interactions among a large collection of variables that rarely adhere to the assumptions of parametric regression modeling.

Selective toxicityof acetamiprid and fipronil as a part of insecticidal baits
The Agrarian Scientific Journal, 2019 Monocomponent and combined insecticidal baits containing acetamiprid and fipronil are proposed to control the housefly Musca domestica at livestock facilities. The combination of active ingredients increases the insecticidal activity of formulations and simultaneously may lead to an increase in their toxicity to animals. The purpose of this work was to
