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

The 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.

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.

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

Physiological 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.

Governance of Climate‐Induced Relocation in the US: An Exploration of Institutional Complexity

Review of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change has and will continue to have a profound effect on both individuals and the communities in which they reside. A pressing question is how communities forced to confront climate‐induced catastrophe—including both rapid and slow‐onset hazards—undertake the decision of how and when to relocate, particularly given the multiple scales

Red Imported Fire Ant, a Seriously Harmful Potential Invasive Species [PDF]

, 2004
Although Solenopsis invicta is not present in Hawaii, this publication advised of the threat its possible introduction poses; its biology and potential impacts are described. The distinction between this pest and S. geminata, the tropical fire ant, which

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Comparison of manual and vacuum cleaner intake approaches efficiency for sampling subtropical ants using Winkler extractor across different habitats

Global Ecology and Conservation
Sampling efforts and approaches represent the foundation of ecological and biodiversity studies. Winkler extractors have been increasingly used over the past 40 years to sample leaf litter and topsoil arthropods.

The discrepancy between fire ant recruitment to and performance on rodent carrion

Scientific Reports, 2022
Ants have not been considered important in the process of vertebrate carrion decomposition, but a recent literature review reported over 150 carrion-visiting ant species.

Evaluation of Gaucho Seed Treatment and Soil Insecticides for Management of the Red Imported Fire Ant on Seedling Grain Sorghum During 1994-1996 (Research Report #101) [PDF]

, 1998
Seed treatments have been used in Louisiana and Texas to prevent red imported fire ant damage in grain sorghum. Seed-protecting insecticides often repel or kill red imported fire ants.

Fire ant decapitating fly cooperative release programs (1994-2008): Two Pseudacteon species, P. tricuspis and P. curvatus, rapidly expand across imported fire ant populations in the southeastern United States [PDF]

, 2011
Natural enemies of the imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren S. richteri Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), and their hybrid, include a suite of more than 20 fire ant decapitating phorid flies from South America in the genus Pseudacteon.
