Exploring the phylogeny of the Leptanillinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) through high‐throughput sequencing and Bayesian total‐evidence inference, with accommodation of systematic bias

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The phylogeny of the Leptanillinae is inferred under maximum‐likelihood, Bayesian and coalescent‐based approaches from a total of 25 UCE alignments curated to compensate for an array of systematic biases. All major clades within the Leptanillinae receive robust statistical support across the bulk of the 80 phylogenomic analyses, with exceptions ...

Effect of Solenopsis invicta virus 3 on brood mortality and egg hatch in Solenopsis invicta

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology
Solenopsis invicta virus 3 (SINV-3) has been shown to cause significant mortality among all stages of its host, Solenopsis invicta. One impact of the virus is alteration of worker ant foraging behavior, which results in colony starvation and collapse over time. Additionally, it has been hypothesized that SINV-3 infection of S.

红火蚁入侵对中国广东中华穿山甲的影响研究

Wildlife Letters
The Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla Linnaeus) is a critically endangered species that feeds on ants and termites. In 2022–2024, we observed two rescued pangolins being attacked by Solenopsis invicta Buren while in captivity. Clusters of pustules and

The nesting preference of an invasive ant is associated with the cues produced by actinobacteria in soil.

PLoS Pathogens, 2020
Soil-dwelling animals are at risk of pathogen infection in soils. When choosing nesting sites, animals could reduce this risk by avoiding contact with pathogens, yet there is currently little evidence.

Modeling Control of Invasive Fire Ants by Gene Drive

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
The fire ant Solenopsis invicta is characterized by exceptional invasive capabilities, rendering conventional control ineffective. Here, we explore the use of homing suppression gene drive in fire ants by developing a spatially explicit model. Overall, these results show that target population suppression requires an extended time scale, but that gene ...

The Origin and In Situ Identification of Uncultured Gut Bacteria in Fourth-Instar Larvae of the Red Imported Fire Ant, Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Sociobiology, 2014
This study corroborated the findings of Lee et al. (2008) and relied on culture-independent techniques, particularly 16S rDNA sequencing. Results from the study demonstrated that ants in captivity completely change their gut bacterial diversity strongly ...

Red Imported Fire Ant in Australia: What if we lose the war? [PDF]

, 2016
In Australia, a national eradication programme for the Red Imported Fire Ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren), one of the world's most invasive species, has been in operation since 2001 when the pest was first detected in Brisbane, Queensland. Since that time,

Distribution of the two social forms of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera : Formicidae) in the native South American range [PDF]

, 2003
Polygyne (multiple queen) colony social organization in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta Buren is always associated with the presence of a particular class of alleles at the gene Gp-9.
