Expression of foraging and Gp-9 are associated with social organization in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta. [PDF]
, 2014 The aim of this study was to investigate levels of expression of two major genes, the odorant binding protein Gp-9 (general protein-9) and foraging, that have been shown to be associated with behavioural polymorphisms in ants.

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 ...

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 ...

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Wolbachia infections in native and introduced populations of fire ants (Solenopsis spp.) [PDF]
, 2000 Wolbachia are cytoplasmically inherited bacteria that induce a variety of effects with fitness consequences on host arthropods, including cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis, male-killing and feminization.
