Polygynous Colonies of the Red Imported Fire Ant in Florida [PDF]

, 1984
We report here the first occurrence in Florida of polygynous (multiple queen) colonies of the red imported fire ant (RIFA), Solenopsis invicta Buren. Polygynous strains of RIFA have been reported previously in Mississippi (Glancey et al. 1973 and Glancey

Virome of red imported fire ants by metagenomic analysis in Guangdong, southern China

Frontiers in Microbiology
The red imported fire ant (RIFA) has made China its habitat for approximately 25 years, but few reports have described the species and amount of virus circulating in it.

Higher‐Order Interactions Can Promote Coexistence by Rewiring Intransitivities Into Competitive Networks

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.
We integrate natural history and theory to show how higher‐order interactions (HOIs) can restructure competitive networks and influence coexistence in a tropical ant community. The HOI from a parasitoid of the dominant ant species forces the community to move between two dominance regimes, and the interregnum between regimes has multiple interacting ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological 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

Ecosphere, 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

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 ...

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

Restoration 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 ...
