Gas-chromatography and UV-spectroscopy of Hymenoptera venoms obtained by trivial centrifugation

Data in Brief, 2018
This paper summarises gas-chromatography (GC–MS) and preliminary UV-spectroscopy analyses data of fresh, unmodified venom of aculeate hymenopterans (ants, bees, wasps), mainly focusing on red imported fire ants. No solvents nor fractionation were used at

Fire and flood: How the Pantanal ant communities respond to multiple disturbances?

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Disturbances are key events in ecological systems, strongly impacting biological communities. This study disentangles the effects of a chronic (flood) and acute (fire) disturbance to determine their interactive effects on ant species richness and ...

Solenopsis invicta x richteri (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) necrophagous behavior causes post-mortem lesions in pigs which serve as oviposition sites for Diptera

Forensic Science International: Reports, 2020
Outdoor decaying corpses immediately attract Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae flies. However, the invasive red and black imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta and richteri) is also attracted to carrion with a reportedly predatory behavior.
