such structures have been unknown in insects. Here, we report the discovery of high-magnesium calcite [CaMg(CO3)2] armor overlaying the exoskeletons of major workers of the leaf-cutter antAcromyrmex echinatior. Live-rearing and in vitro synthesis experiments indicate that the biomineral layer acc...
The sick and elderly, pets and children in backyards, campers, and picnickers all can become victims of fire ant stings (Fig. 1). One oddity about fire ants is their evident attraction to electrical fields. They frequently enter electrical boxes such as outside air conditioners, traffic ...
Successful control of White Footed ants depends on the ability to locate foraging ants and nesting sites. White Footed ant colonies living in the soil or under items, such as stones or logs, should be treated by drenching each individual colony with a quality residual insecticide such asFuse ...
This observation is consistent with the idea that orco mutants are unable to perceive odorants, such as aggregation pheromones (Bell et al., 1972, Depickere et al., 2004, Li et al., 2016), that might be involved in nesting behavior. Fitness of orco Mutants Finally, we investigated ...
Preferring damp voids for nesting, Florida carpenter ants prefer locations close to sweet food sources, safe from predators, such as birds and lizards and out of the heat and other environmental extremes, such as flooding. Indoors: In addition to moist wall voids, Florida carpenter ants nest ...
and even building foundations. In agricultural settings, fire ants can damage crops and machinery. Their nesting habits can also interfere with electrical equipment, leading to costly repairs. In the Dallas Fort Worth area, where fire ants are prevalent, their presence can disrupt outdoor activities...
It is not always possible to find where the ant colony is located. In this case, bait insecticides placed directly in the path of ants or where ants can find them are very effective and can save a tremendous amount of time. Time-Saving Ant Control Tips ...
Not long ago, he found that the bluebirds were nesting (做窝) in the dead trees which were often ___, so he began to make bluebird boxes for the birds in order to save them. Now he wants to use these boxes to take the place of the dead trees. He hangs these boxes up in trees...
Large coloured boxes indicate ancestral associations of ants with the cultivar clades shown in Fig. 2, as reconstructed in BayesTraits (all posterior probabilities ≥0.98). Although geographic speciation events within C. wheeleri s.l. and C. muelleri s.l. were not associated with shifts in ...
