Ants in Burned and Unburned Areas in Campos Rupestres Ecosystem

Sociobiology, 2016
Ground-dwelling ants have shown consistent resilience to fire in savanna environments. We carried out a study to investigate how ant community structure responds to fire in a harsh and fragile Cerrado ecosystem, the campos rupestres.

DNA barcoding of more than one million insect specimens indicates that at least one third of California's insect biodiversity remains undiscovered

Ecography, EarlyView.
Insects are the most diverse terrestrial organisms, yet they are underrepresented in large‐scale conservation assessments. To address this gap, the California Insect Barcoding Initiative is developing a publicly accessible, statewide DNA‐barcode reference library for California insects to support scalable surveys, establish baseline biodiversity ...

Anaphylaxis due to red imported fire ant sting [PDF]

, 2002
The invasive Red Imported Fire Ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren) is well established at two locations in the Brisbane area, and we report a patient with anaphylaxis after a sting. The potential for anaphylactic events in Australia due to S.

Impact of the invasive ant Linepithema humile on native ant assemblages on the western slopes of Table Mountain and implications for ant-butterfly associations [PDF]

, 2011
The Argentine Ant, Linepithema humile (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), is one of the world's most successful invasive species and invades undisturbed Fynbos habitats in South Africa, displacing native arthropod species and affecting interspecific associations.

Comparison of manual and vacuum cleaner intake approaches efficiency for sampling subtropical ants using Winkler extractor across different habitats

Global Ecology and Conservation
Sampling efforts and approaches represent the foundation of ecological and biodiversity studies. Winkler extractors have been increasingly used over the past 40 years to sample leaf litter and topsoil arthropods.

Odorant binding proteins of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta: an example of the problems facing the analysis of widely divergent proteins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
We describe the odorant binding proteins (OBPs) of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, obtained from analyses of an EST library and separate 454 sequencing runs of two normalized cDNA libraries.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Acute and Chronic Local Field Potential Recordings in Dystonia—A Systematic Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder increasingly conceptualized as a disorder of distributed network dysfunction involving the basal ganglia, cortex and cerebellum. Local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes provide a unique opportunity to characterize the electrophysiological signatures ...

Monitoring Effect of Fire on Ant Assemblages in Brazilian Rupestrian Grasslands: Contrasting Effects on Ground and Arboreal Fauna

Insects, 2017
Fire is one of the most relevant ecological disturbances in nature. Little is known about the effects of fire on biodiversity in ecosystems like rupestrian grasslands, which share characteristics with savanna and forest biomes.

A Gap Analysis of Deep Brain Stimulation for Childhood‐Onset Movement Disorders

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established and increasingly utilized therapy for childhood‐onset movement disorders. However, pediatric DBS poses unique challenges that are not adequately addressed by adult‐derived paradigms. Objective To identify key gaps in the current use of DBS in childhood‐onset movement disorders and to ...
