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

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Although synthetic pesticides have long been used to protect crops, their widespread use has led to significant health and environmental problems, including ecological contamination, resistant pest populations, and hazardous residues in food. These restrictions have sparked interest in natural pesticides (NPs), particularly the secondary metabolites of

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 173-193, December 2025.Spectacled flying‐fox Pteropus conspicillatus populations have declined so seriously over two decades that they are now endangered. Inaction has allowed threats to increase. Extreme heat events are now a lethal reality, habitat loss continues almost unabated, and pressure to disperse roosts is ever‐present. Obtaining resources and taking action to help

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 1954-1968, December 2025.Abstract The invasive white‐footed ant Technomyrmex difficilis has emerged as a rising pest in several regions, yet its invasion dynamics remain underexplored. This species outcompetes native ants and causes agricultural losses by tending pest insects, including aphids and mealybugs.

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

A high‐throughput and sensitive method for food preference assays in the argentine ant
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 7210-7218, October 2025.A high‐throughput and sensitive method for food preference assays in the Argentine ant. The dual feeder detects dispreference for food with low levels of an aversive compound (quinine) and preference for foods with higher levels of phagostimulants (sucrose).

Impacts of Single and Multiple Co‐Existing Invasive Species on Subtropical Native Ant Communities
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.This study examines the impact of invasive ant species on native ant communities in Hong Kong, highlighting that single‐species invasions often lead to significant declines in biodiversity. In certain cases, co‐invasions may mitigate these effects; however, such equilibrium is fragile and unsustainable.
