Population genetic analyses reveal host association and genetically distinct populations of social parasite Solenopsis daguerrei (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Inquiline ant social parasites exploit other ant species for their reproductive benefit because they do not possess a worker caste. Due to their relative rarity in nature, the biology and natural history of inquilines are largely unknown.

Comparative Immature Morphology of Brazilian Fire Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Solenopsis)

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012
Although common in Brazil, the biology of the fire ant Solenopsis saevissima (Smith) is still poorly studied. Larval descriptions are useful to genus-level ant systematics and sometimes to species-level taxonomy.

Fire Ant- Hemipteran Mutualisms: Comparison of Ant Preference for Honeydew Excreted by an Invasive Mealybug and a Native Aphid

Sociobiology, 2014
Interaction between ants and honeydew-producing hemipterans is defined as mutualism which is beneficial for both species. Red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta, who tend the honeydew-producing hemipteran insects, can help reduce their predators and ...

Effects of maximum residue limit of triflumezopyrim exposure on fitness of the red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
The impact of exposure to free feeding concentrations of triflumezopyrim to the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, in maximum residue tolerances for 56 days was investigated to understand whether triflumezopyrim, a novel neonicotinoid, poses ...

Impacts of changing climate on the distribution of Solenopsis invicta Buren in Mainland China: Exposed urban population distribution and suitable habitat change

Ecological Indicators, 2022
As one of the 100 worst invasive alien species in the world, the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren) is of great concern because of its impact on human health, human health, economic development, and native biodiversity.

Diet with Sucrose Ameliorates Solenopsis Invicta Virus 3 (Solinviviridae: Invictavirus) Infection in Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Worker Ants [PDF]

Florida Entomologist, 2021
Mortality and virus titer were monitored in Solenopsis invicta colony fragments to examine the impact of diet sucrose supplementation. Mortality on d 21 reached a mean of 111.8 ± 22.0 worker ants in Solenopsis invicta virus 3-treated colonies without sugar supplementation, which was significantly greater (F = 10.0; df = 3,14; P < 0.0009) than the ...

Workers and alate queens of Solenopsis geminata share qualitatively similar but quantitatively different venom alkaloid chemistry

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Solenopsis geminata group (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) encompasses ant species commonly called fire ants because of their painful sting. The many physiological effects of the venom are caused by 2-methyl-6-alkyl and/or alkenylpiperidine alkaloids.
