Ant–Seed Mutualisms: Can Red Imported Fire Ants Sour the Relationship? [PDF]

Biological Conservation, 2001
Invasion by the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, has had negative impacts on individual animal and plant species, but little is known about how S. invicta affects complex mutualistic relationships.

Trail Pheromone Disruption of Red Imported Fire Ant

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2010
The fire ant, Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), is considered one of the most aggressive and invasive species in the world. Toxic bait systems are used widely for control, but they also affect non-target ant species and cannot be used in sensitive ecosystems such as organic farms and national parks.

Yeast biota of the red imported fire ant

Mycological Research, 1996
Few researchers have addressed the relationship between the Solenopsis complex and its internal microbiota. Most investigations on the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) are either control oriented or emphasize the species' negative impact on ecosystems. The objectives of this study were to isolate and identify yeasts from the red imported fire

Structure and distribution of antennal sensilla of the red imported fire ant

Micron, 2003
The morphology of the antenna of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, was examined by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The antennae are sexually dimorphic: the worker antenna has porous sensilla on the two distal segments (the antennal club), whereas the clubless male antenna has porous ...

Red Imported Fire Ant Foraging in a Greenhouse

Environmental Entomology, 1977
Solenopsis invicta Buren workers retrieved greenhouse whiteflies [ Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood)], annelids, sowbugs, mites, springtails, and scale insects. An estimated 15,408 immature and 2588 adult T. vaporariorum /day were removed from Lantana camara plants by S. invicta . Mean rates of movement of ants on the foraging trail ranged 1.96–2.31

Yeasts in mound soil of the red imported fire ant

Mycological Research, 2000
Soil yeast occurrence and abundance was studied in brood chambers within mounds of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta , and adjacent non-mound soil from Texas. Ten yeast species were isolated from fire ant brood chamber soil and 13 from non-mound soil. Relative frequencies of Candida parapsilosis and C.

THE EFFECT OF FENOXYCARB ON ALATES OF THE RED IMPORTED FIRE ANT

Journal of Entomological Science, 1989
Female alates of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren did not develop ovaries when exposed to dosages as low as 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, or 1.0 mg per colony of the insect growth regulator, fenoxycarb [ethyl 2-(4-phenoxyphenoxy) ethyl] carbamate. Development of the bursa, spermatheca, and oviducts was normal. Alate females from treated colonies

Efficacy of Bifenthrin Treatment Zones Against Red Imported Fire Ant

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2003
Exclusion of ants, particularly red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta (Buren), from homes, nursing facilities, hospitals, and electrical housings is an important strategy in urban and rural pest control. We conducted a laboratory bioassay to determine the repellency of granular bifenthrin (Talstar: rate 2.087 kg of formulated product/92.88 m2 or 4 ...
