The 1985 Research Conference on Fire Ants and Leaf-Cutting Ants covered the most recent developments in research and control of these insect pests of the New World tropical and subtropical zones, the southern United States, South and Central America,

Foraging ants recruit nestmate workers to food sources by a variety of mechanisms. We report that one behavioural subcategory of the recruitment pheromone complex of Solenopsis invicta Buren involves orientation induction. The orientation inducer phe

The oviposition rate of individual queens of Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in relation to their weight and number of queens present in the colony was investigated by direct 2 h observations. There is a strong positive correlation

Various bait formulations containing 0.3% or 0.6% of the fluoroaliphatic sulfone, sulfluramid, were evaluated for control of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, in field tests in Florida and Georgia. No significant differences were i

Surveys of 2,384 ha of young citrus groves in Florida in 1982 showed that red imported fire ants, Solenopsis inuicta Buren, were abundant (x⁻ = 366.8 nests per hal. The ants built their mounds around or near the base of young citrus trees 1-4 yr ol

The occurrence of polygyne and monogyne Solenopsis invicta (Buren) populations offers a unique opportunity to test hypotheses related to nestmate recognition. Recognition bioassays were based on the aggressive behavior observed during intraspecific i

The standard fenoxycarb fire ant bait formulation (Logic), composed of pregel defatted corn grits and soybean oil toxicant, was modified by eliminating the soybean oil. This formulation without soybean oil contained greater than 2 times more fenoxyca

Eight laboratory-reared ant species were fed baits of house fly, Musca domestica L., pupae treated with hydramethylnon. Two fire ant species, Solenopsis invicta Buren and Solenopsis geminata (F.), and Pheidole morrissi (Forel) were killed; average pe

Moderate to heavy infestations of the imported fire ants (IFA), Solenopsis invicta Buren and S. richteri Forel, have reduced soybean production in the southern United States. In early surveys of crop damage, Wilson & Eads (1949) attributed a loss of

The title compound, I , prepared in five steps via four known α-pyrones, is responsible, in part, for “queen recognition” by red imported fire ant workers. IR, NMR and MS data are presented.
