HOUSEHOLDS' EXPERIENCES WITH THE RED IMPORTED FIRE ANT IN SOUTH CAROLINA

The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta), abbreviated as RIFA, is believed to have been brought by accident to Mobile, Alabama in the 1930s via ship ballast from South America.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Virome of red imported fire ants by metagenomic analysis in Guangdong, southern China

Frontiers in Microbiology
The red imported fire ant (RIFA) has made China its habitat for approximately 25 years, but few reports have described the species and amount of virus circulating in it.

Leafcutter Ant Nests Inhibit Low-Intensity Fire Spread in the Understory of Transitional Forests at the Amazon's Forest-Savanna Boundary

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012
Leaf-cutter ants (Atta spp.) remove leaf litter and woody debris—potential fuels—in and around their nests and foraging trails. We conducted single and three annual experimental fires to determine the effects of this leaf-cutter ant activity on the ...

Multiplexed Retinoic Acid Signal Reporters for In Vivo and In Vitro Use

genesis, Volume 64, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Here we describe the optimisation of a modular, generally applicable and rapid method to make multimerised signaling‐molecule reporters for detecting different retinoic acid concentrations. The technical plasmid design allows for the easy exchange of reporters, promoters, signal‐responsive elements as well as for the multimerization of entire ...

Data from: Ant community and habitat limit colony establishment by the fire ant, Solenopis invicta

, 2016
Hypotheses of community assembly include limitation through habitat physical attributes, as well as competition among species. Such hypotheses must be resolved through experimental tests. Previous experiments have shown that: (i) fire ants of

When the Cover Burns: Behavioral and Morphological Responses of Western Fence Lizards (Sceloporus occidentalis) to Increased Openness in Post‐Fire Environments

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We found that Western Fence Lizards experience higher detectability in burned areas but do not consistently darken or adjust perch use to enhance background matching, despite showing improved camouflage on darker substrates. These results suggest that lizards may face behavioral trade‐offs in post‐fire landscapes that could influence success.

Study on Fire Characteristics and Evacuation of the Haikousanlu Subway Station in Wuhan

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
In order to study the fire development and evacuation in the subway station, this paper establishes the simulation model of the fire and evacuation in the subway station through PyroSim and Pathfinder simulators. During the simulation, the smoke temperature, CO concentration, and visibility of key positions are recorded over time.
