PHYSIOLOGICAL 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 کاملTetradonema solenopsis n. sp. (Nematoda: Tetradonematidae) Parasitic on the Red Imported Fire Ant Solenopsis invicta Buren from Brazil.
Explorations in Brazil to find parasites of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, have uncovered a new species of the Tetradonematidae, Tetradonema solenopsis n. sp. The nematode parasite was fatal to about 25% of the colony. The female nematodes are large and sausage shaped and the males are small and difficult to find, which is typical of the genus. The ant is a new host record...
متن کاملSampling efficacy for the red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
Cost-effective detection of invasive ant colonies before establishment in new ranges is imperative for the protection of national borders and reducing their global impact. We examined the sampling efficiency of food-baits and pitfall traps (baited and nonbaited) in detecting isolated red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren) nests in multiple environments in Gainesville, FL. Fire ants d...
متن کاملCharacteristics of 11 polymorphic microsatellite markers in the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren.
We have characterized 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the invasive ant Solenopsis invicta. Primer pairs were evaluated on fire ants collected from monogyne mounds in Lauderdale County, Mississippi. The observed and effective number of alleles ranged from two to six and from 1.31 to 2.64, respectively. The observed and expected heterozygosity values ranged from 0.1613 to 0.7826 and from 0....
متن کاملGenome complexity and organization in the red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta Buren.
The red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta is the most destructive invading arthropod in the southern United States, yet little is known about its genome complexity and organization. Here we report the size, organization and GC content of S. invicta genome. DNA reassociation kinetics using S1 nuclease assay and a modified second-order kinetics model indicated that the S. invicta genome is app...
