Mechanics of fire ant aggregations
Nature Materials, 2015Fire ants link their bodies to form aggregations; these can adopt a variety of structures, they can drip and spread, or withstand applied loads. Here, by using oscillatory rheology, we show that fire ant aggregations are viscoelastic. We find that, at the lowest ant densities probed and in the linear regime, the elastic and viscous moduli are ...

Summary Effective biosecurity and pest management are fundamental to sustainable development. Invasive ants pose significant risks to the environment and economy, which are well-managed by biosecurity agencies in developed countries.

Queen venom isosolenopsin A delivers rapid incapacitation of fire ant competitors
Toxicon, 2019&NA; Fire ant venom contains insecticidal alkaloids named ‘solenopsins’. Whilst species‐specific differences are reported, little attention has been given to caste‐specific venom adaptations.

Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 1992
Two species of imported fire ants (IFA) now infest large areas of the southern United States. The most aggressive species, Solenopsis invicta, has adapted well to environmental conditions in the south where it has become a considerable agricultural pest and a significant public health problem.

Imported fire ant immunotherapy
Annals of Allergy, Asthma & ImmunologyImported fire ants (IFAs) permeate many areas of the United States. The IFA allergy is a significant health problem for children and adults. Stings from IFAs cause pustules, localized reactions, and anaphylaxis. There have been at least 32 deaths attributed to IFA stings.

Imported Fire Ants: The Ants from Hell!
Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 1994Imported fire ants may certainly be considered the ANTS FROM HELL! This review focuses on both the interesting entomology of fire ants and the important medical characteristics of fire ant stings. They sting and they kill; they destroy; they mate in mid-air; and we may not be able to stop them.

Ecological Indicators, 2018
Animal-plant interactions have a major influence on ecosystem structure and functioning. Understanding to what extent the temporal dynamics of interactions is determined by climate and disturbances is thus relevant to predict ecological and evolutionary ...

Fire is one of the main natural disturbances in Tropical Savannas, changing the diversity of species, altering the structure of species interactions, and driving the evolution of adaptations.
