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.

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.

How do patch burnings affect ant communities and seed removal in a subtropical grassland?
Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Disturbances modify local abiotic properties, habitat structure and resource availability, shaping community assembly and ecological interactions. Open ecosystems have an evolutionary relationship with fire.

Description, Articulation and Limitations in the Social Theory of Insurance
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There have been surprisingly few sustained efforts to explain or theorise the role insurance plays in society. Even the most theoretically inflected insurance scholarship, emanating from governmentality and Actor Network Theory scholarship, tends to be grounded in empirical cases, set in particular periods and places, and it is often ...

Trace Element Patterns in Juvenile Wild Chimpanzee Dentitions
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Trace elements are used to infer mammalian early‐life diets, environmental toxins, dispersal patterns, stress histories, and weaning ages. Here, we employ laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) to reveal elemental patterns in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees.

Application of an Image Tracking Algorithm in Fire Ant Motion Experiment
Algorithms, 2009 An image tracking algorithm, which was originally used with the particle image velocimetry (PIV) to determine velocities of buoyant solid particles in water, is modified and applied in the presented work to detect motion of fire ant on a planar surface ...

Behind the Scenes of an Ant Genome Project [PDF]
, 2011 Dramatic improvements in DNA sequencing technologies have led to amore than 1,000-fold reduction in sequencing costs over the past five years.Genome-wide research approaches can thus now be applied beyond medicallyrelevant questions to examine the ...
