Sociogenomics of Cooperation and Conflict during Colony Founding in the Fire Ant Solenopsis invicta
PLoS Genetics, 2013 One of the fundamental questions in biology is how cooperative and altruistic behaviors evolved. The majority of studies seeking to identify the genes regulating these behaviors have been performed in systems where behavioral and physiological ...

Conceptualizing and contextualizing “large‐scale” and “scaling‐up” ecological restoration
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Current restoration efforts are lagging behind the extent and pace of environmental degradation. This emphasizes the need and urgency to scale up ecological restoration. This study sought to understand the context of “large‐scale” and “scaling‐up” ecological restoration, that is, what it means, entails, where, and how it is implemented by ...

Presence of the red imported fire ant at gopher tortoise nests
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta; fire ants) are predators of turtle (Testudine) eggs and hatchlings, but little information is available indicating how and when fire ants detect turtle nests during incubation.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction A primary goal of habitat restoration is the return of both taxonomic and functional diversity to support ecosystem resilience and functioning. This study assessed how insect functional biodiversity (focusing on beetles [Coleoptera] and ants [Formicidae]) responds to invasive pine (Pinus spp.) removal, in a Mediterranean‐type ...
