Presence of the red imported fire ant at gopher tortoise nests
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta; fire ants) are predators of turtle (Testudine) eggs and hatchlings, but little information is available indicating how and when fire ants detect turtle nests during incubation.

Repellent Effects of Five Plant Essential Oils on the Red Imported Fire Ant, Solenopsis invcita
Sociobiology, 2015 The aim of this experiment was to search for the essential oils which have repellent effects on red imported fire ants. Effect of five kinds of essential oils in four concentrations on fire ant workers was evaluated using a Y-tube olfactometer bioassay ...

Arboreal twig-nesting ants form dominance hierarchies over nesting resources. [PDF]
, 2019 Interspecific dominance hierarchies have been widely reported across animal systems. High-ranking species are expected to monopolize more resources than low-ranking species via resource monopolization. In some ant species, dominance hierarchies have been

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 ...
