Variation in Foraging Activity Areas of Worker Ants in Newly Established Red Imported Fire Ant Colonies Across Different Habitats

Sociobiology
Red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren) is a severe and highly destructive invasive species. It has invaded mainland China since 2004. Understanding the foraging behavior patterns of workers in different habitats and conditions can help to ...

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.

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.

Red Imported Fire Ants Reduce Invertebrate Abundance, Richness, and Diversity in Gopher Tortoise Burrows

Diversity, 2020
Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) burrows support diverse commensal invertebrate communities that may be of special conservation interest. We investigated the impact of red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) on the invertebrate burrow community ...

Management practices, local habitat features, and landcover associated with carabid and scarab beetle occupancy and abundance in restored Black Belt grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Grassland restoration and conservation is necessary to retain ecosystem services and biodiversity. Insects are ecologically important yet often not the focus of restoration. Beetles in the family Carabidae (carabids) are frequently studied after restoration, but the effects of grassland restoration on beetles in the family Scarabaeidae (scarabs) have ...

Influence of the proximity and amount of human development and roads on the occurrence of the red imported fire ant in the lower Florida Keys [PDF]

, 2002
We examined the influence of both the proximity and extent of human developments and paved roads on the presence of the predatory, non-indigenous, red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta).
