Esterase in Imported Fire Ants, Solenopsis invicta and S. richteri (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): Activity, Kinetics and Variation
Solenopsis invicta and Solenopsis richteri are two closely related invasive ants native to South America. Despite their similarity in biology and behavior, S. invicta is a more successful invasive species. Toxic tolerance has been found to be important to the success of some invasive species. Esterases play a crucial role in toxic tolerance of insects. Hence, we hypothesized that the more invas...
متن کاملPHYSIOLOGICAL ECOLOGY Excretion of Phosphoric Acid by Red Imported Fire Ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Food sources,mineral redistribution, and excreta are someof theways ants enrich their mound environment. Phosphorus excretion has not been reported in red imported Þre ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren. QuantiÞcation of phosphoric acid in worker fecal droplets and larval anal liquid of S. invicta was performed. Phosphoric acid was trimethylsilylated using N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trißuoroacetamide, ...
متن کاملMicroencapsulated Bait: Does It Work With Red Imported Fire Ants, Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)?
The preference of red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta, for microencapsulated (MC) pyriproxifen based corn grit baits (P-bait) was conducted in laboratory and field conditions. A positive correlation between the microencapsulation rate and water tolerance ability of P-bait was observed. A 20% increment of water tolerance ability of P-baits was observed when P-baits were microencapsulated ...
متن کاملImpact of imidacloprid on new queens of imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Neonicotinoid insecticides are commonly used in managing pest insects, including the imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren. There is increasing evidence that neonicotinoid insecticides at sublethal concentrations have profound effects on social insects. However, the sublethal effect of neonicotinoids on S. invicta has never been investigated. In this study, the newly mated queens were fed...
متن کاملDisruption of gene expression in hybrids of the fire ants Solenopsis invicta and Solenopsis richteri.
Transcriptome analysis is a powerful tool for unveiling the distribution and magnitude of genetic incompatibilities between hybridizing taxa. The nature of such incompatibilities is closely associated with the evolutionary histories of the parental species and may differ across tissues and between the sexes. In eusocial insects, the presence of castes that experience divergent selection regimes...
