This study examined the effects of red imported fire ant nests on soil properties and microbial communities in five different habitats. In each habitat, compared to the non-red imported fire ant nest control soils, pH and nitrogen content significantly increased in red imported fire ant...
The fire ant has six legs, each terminating with a sharp claw Abdomen is connected to thorax by a flexible junction and tipped by a stinger The abdomen contains the heart, digestive system and a venom sacHabitat and NestsThe red imported fire ant prefers warmer climates and is attracted to ...
which can be rarely observed in other animals besides humans. Although these behaviors have been extensively investigated on horizontal surfaces, few studies dealt with food transport on vertical surfaces. The red imported fire ant,Solenopsis invictaBuren, is an invasive ant species...
The life cycle of the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) resembles that of most ant species—the first stage is the egg. This stage is followed in turn by the larva, the pupae and finally the adult ant. However, the fire ant life cycle occurs on two levels: the lives of indiv...

Impacts red imported fire ants (RIFA) exert on native faunal communities were monitored in two pine-dominated ecosystems in Louisiana. After suppression of established RIFA populations with Amdro, cotton mice (Peromyscus gossypinus), herpetofaunal, ground-dwelling invertebrate, Lycosidae, and non-target...
Fire ants The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) is an example. Red imported fire ants are some of the most widespread omnivores. These types of ants eat sweet honeydew aphids that cover plants. Large colonies of these ants are also specific for the specific colonies that also feed ...
Ecological dominance of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, in its native range Despite the widespread impacts invasive species can have in introduced populations, little is known about competitive mechanisms and dominance hierarchies ... LA Calcaterra,JP Livore,A Delgado,... - 《...
