Demonstration of beat‐to‐beat, on‐demand ATP synthesis in ventricular myocytes reveals sex‐specific mitochondrial and cytosolic dynamics

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Beat‐locked mitochondrial ATP transients reveal modular, sex‐specific bioenergetic control during excitation–contraction coupling. A, each action potential activates L‐type CaV1.2 channels, producing a Ca2+ influx that triggers ryanodine receptors (RyR2) and elicits SR Ca2+ release.

RED IMPORTED FIRE ANT IMPACTS ON NORTHERN BOBWHITE POPULATIONS

open access: yes, 1995
The stability of Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations in Texas, where high density polygyne red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) account for \u3e50% of all (S.

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

open access: yesDiversity, 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 ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Influence of community connectivity and genetic diversity of an exotic consumer on invasion success in metacommunities

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Genetic diversity of potentially invasive exotic species has been theorized to lead to increased invasion success. However, empirical work investigating this relationship is extremely limited, especially in the context of metacommunity connectivity. Native community connectivity may mitigate the effects of invasion, but such protective effects

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

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
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 ...

Dispersal of Red Imported Fire Ants by Water

open access: yesThe Florida Entomologist, 1974
Male and female Solenopsis invicta Buren were found on a lake surface after a nuptial flight, and after another flight, dealate females believed to have drifted from the lake surface were seen constructing brood chambers on the shore. High numbers of alate and dealate female ants were found on a log jam on a river.

Fatty acids and glycerides are object recognition and carrying cues for foraging Camponotus modoc carpenter ants

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 29-39, March 2026.
Colour‐coded perlites were treated with specific fatty acids or mono‐, di‐ or triglycerides as perlite pickup cues for laboratory and field colonies of western carpenter ants. In laboratory and field experiments, ant colonies were offered multiple choices of these colour‐coded lipid‐treated perlites for pickup and transport to the nest.
