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.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

Dispersal of Red Imported Fire Ants by Water
The 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.

A Comprehensive Account of the Breeding Systems of the Fire Ant Solenopsis invicta
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.We comprehensively characterized the breeding system of polygyne fire ant colonies by tracking parentage, relatedness, and supergene genotypes in a large‐scale, longitudinal experiment. Our results reveal high variation in queen number, generally unrelated nestmate breeders, rare polyandry, and pronounced reproductive and paternity skew shaped by the ...
