1. Bioactivity of essential oils from Artemisia against Diaphania hyalinata and its selectivity to beneficial insects
ABSTRACT: The demand for effective insecticides in pest control with low toxicity to the non-target organisms, such as natural enemies and pollinators, is increasing steadily. A good alternative for synthetic insecticides is natural compounds, including essential oils (EO). This work assessed toxicity of essential oils extracted from Artemisia annua, A. absi

2. Identification, expression and characterization of the recombinant Sol g 4.1 protein from the venom of the tropical fire ant Solenopsis geminata
Abstract Background: Fire ant venom is a complex mixture consisting of basic piperidine alkaloids, various biologically active peptides and protein components, including a variety of major allergenic proteins. Tropical fire ant Solenopsis geminata is an important stinging ant species that causes anaphylaxis and serious medical problems. Although the biologi

3. INSECTICIDAL ACTIVITY OF DIENAMIDES ON CABBAGE CATERPILLAR AND BENEFICIAL INSECTS
The demand for new insecticides is increasing due to the appearance of insect populations that are resistant to currently used products. New insecticides should be efficient in controlling pests and present low toxicity to non-target organisms. Ascia monuste (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) is a destructive pest of cole vegetables, and the fire ant Solenopsis saeviss

4. Absolute Configuration of Solenopsis Piperidines is a Tool to Classify Fire Ants (Formicidae:Myrmicinae)
Piperidine alkaloids are predominant in ant venom glands of S. invicta and S. saevissima. These ants are broadly sympatric in Southeastern Brazil, and potentially diagnostic compounds could assist in ant identification. We determined the absolute configuration of 2,6-dialkyl-piperidines of S. invicta and S. saevissima workers and used these data to group Sou

5. Characterization of the allergen Sol gem 2 from the fire ant venom, Solenopsis geminata
Sol i 2 is a potent allergen in Solenopsis invicta venom, and most humans exhibit reactivity to it. The Sol gem 2 allergen found in the venom of the Thai tropical fire ant Solenopsis geminata was analysed in the present study. The protein was present in higher amounts than other proteins, as determined by SDS-PAGE, and presumably has allergenic properties si

6. Geographical transition zone of Solenopsis fire ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Pseudacteon fly parasitoids (Diptera: Phoridae) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil
Solenopsis saevissima (Smith) and Solenopsis invicta Buren are the most abundant and widely distributed fire ants in Brazil. The occurrence of the two fire ant species and of their parasitoids Pseudacteon spp. is described for a climatic and phytophysiognomic transition area in the state of São Paulo. Both fire ant species have a parapatric distribution, ap

7. Presence of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta (Westwood) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) stimulates burrowing behavior by larvae of the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva) (Diptera: Psychodidae)
The sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva) vectors leishmaniasis in the neotropics. Although much is known about the biology of adult flies, little is known about interactions with its natural enemies. Here, we examined behavior of larvae of L4 L.longipalpis on a soil substrate when exposed to the fire ant Solenopsis invicata (Westwood). When ants were

8. Cytogenetic analysis of three species of Pseudacteon (Diptera, Phoridae) parasitoids of the fire ants using standard and molecular techniques
Pseudacteon flies, parasitoids of worker ants, are being intensively studied as potentially effective agents in the biological control of the invasive pest fire ant genus Solenopsis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). This is the first attempt to describe the karyotype of P. curvatus Borgmeier, P. nocens Borgmeier and P. tricuspis Borgmeier. The three species possess

9. Papel ecológico do fogo e das saúvas (Atta spp.) na ciclagem de nutrientes e carbono em cerrado / Ecological role of fire and leaf-cutting ants (Atta spp.) on nutrient and carbon cycling in cerrado
Em ambientes distróficos, como as áreas de cerrado, a ciclagem de nutrientes é de fundamental importância para a manutenção, regulação e desenvolvimento desses habitats. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi testar uma hipótese sugerida há cerca de 20 anos, sobre um possível papel antagônico do fogo e das saúvas na ciclagem de nutrientes em cerrad

10. Ecologia de Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) em um agroecossistema diversificado sob manejo orgânico. / Ecology of Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in an agroecosystem.
Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) (formiga-lava-pé), espécie nativa da América do Sul, hoje ocorre na América Central, América do Norte e Oceania. A espécie é considerada uma praga importante devido às altas densidades populacionais, agressividade e à sua picada desagradável, podendo provocar reações alérgicas. A espécie pode t

11. Populational and taxonomical studies of fire ants, Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), and of the phenology of their parasitoids of the genus Psedacteon (Diptera: Phoridae) / Estudos populacionais e taxonomicos de formigas lava-pes, Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) e da fenologia de seus parasitoides do genero Pseudacteon (Diptera: Phoridae)
This work discusses some aspects of the ecology of the fire ant species Solenopsis invicta and its phorid parasitoid flies ofthe genus Pseudacteon, and ofthe taxonomy of S. invicta and S. saevissima, both of which are native to South America. The allometry of S. invicta colonies in southeast Brazil was studied by measurement of mound (aboveground) dimensions

12. Ecologia da interação entre formigas invasoras e moscas parasitoides
The establishment of exotic species is an important disturbing factor of native community. The knowledge of the ecology of these invading species in their native range is fundamental to handle effectively the problem. The red fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, and the Argentine ant, Linepithema humile (Mayr), are invading species in many places, bringing ec
