Sex and Clonality in the Little Fire Ant [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2007
Reproduction systems are controlling the creation of new genetic variants as well as how natural selection can operate on these variants. Therefore, they had historically been one of the main foci of evolutionary biology studies. The little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata, has been found to display an extraordinary reproduction system, in which both ...

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.

The genome of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta [PDF]

, 2011
Ants have evolved very complex societies and are key ecosystem members. Some ants, such as the fire ant Solenopsis invicta , are also major pests. Here, we present a draft genome of S. invicta ,

Targeting Supramolecular Active Complexes of Nav1.7/Nav1.8 to Relieve Chronic Neuropathic Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In mice and patients with severe chronic neuropathic pain (NP), Nav1.7, Nav1.8, TrkB, and five cytoskeletal proteins form supramolecular active complexes (SMACs) with polygonal lattice structures as noxious signal amplifiers in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons.

Personalized Network‐Guided Neuromodulation Enhances Human Working Memory

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A personalized neuromodulation framework combining individualized functional brain network targeting with real‐time neural decoding is introduced. Using concurrent TMS–fMRI, participant‐specific stimulation targets and optimal frequencies are identified. Only optimal‐frequency stimulation improves working memory across sessions.

Toxicological effects of the environmental pollutant perfluoronanoic acid on the ground-dwelling arthropod Solenopsis invicta

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), widely employed in surfactants, coatings, plastics, corrosion inhibitors, and fire-extinguishing agents, is less regulated than PFOS or PFOA but displays higher bioaccumulation and potential toxicity.
