The Effect of Diet and Opponent Size on Aggressive Interactions Involving Caribbean Crazy Ants Publish Date: 2013-06-11 Author/Source: Katherine C. Horn, Micky D. Eubanks, Evan Siemann Description: The Caribbean crazy ant, Nylanderia fulva, was recently introduced to the Gulf Coast of Texas, and appears to be spreading inland. It has been hypothesized that competition with the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, may be an important factor in the spread of crazy ants. We investigated the potential of interspecific competition among these two introduced ants by measuring interspecific aggression between Caribbean crazy ant workers and workers of Solenopsis invicta States/Regions: International, Texas |

Entrapment of bed bugs by leaf trichomes inspires microfabrication of biomimetic surfaces Publish Date: 2013-04-12 Author/Source: Megan W. Szyndler, Kenneth F. Haynes, Michael F. Potter, Robert M. Corn and Catherine Loudon Description: bed bugs were entrapped by leaves from bean plants, which were then destroyed; this purely physical entrapment was related to microscopic hooked hairs (trichomes) on the leaf surfaces. Using scanning electron microscopy and videography, we documented the capture mechanism: the physical impaling of bed bug feet (tarsi) by these trichomes. This is distinct from a Velcro-like mechanism of non-piercing entanglement, which only momentarily holds the bug without sustained capture. Struggling, trapped bed bugs are impaled by trichomes on several legs and are unable to free themselves State/Region: National

A quantitative analysis of a modified feeding method for rearing Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) in the laboratory Publish Date: 2013-03-18 Author/Source: Chin-Heady E, DeMark JJ, Nolting S, Bennett G, Saltzmann K, Hamm RL. Description: A modified artificial feeding system was developed for rearing Cimex lectularius and compared with the most widely used artificial feeding method which requires custom-made glassware and a circulating water bath to warm the blood. The petri dish method reduces some of the drawbacks from the current water bath method, such as the possibility of flooding bed bug rearing jars with water or blood and the need for expensive custom-made glassware.

More and bigger queens: a clue to the invasive success of the Argentine ant (Hyme no - ptera: Formicidae) in natural habitats Publish Date: 2013-03 Author/Source: Sílvia A BRIL , Mireia D ÍAZ , Martha L. E NRÍQUEZ & Crisanto G ÓMEZ Description: we provide new data on the queens' biological and physiological characteristics in Linepithema humile ( M AYR , 1868) colonies from both the invasion front (contact area) and the tota lly invaded area (invaded area) in order to ex am ine the differences between them. We analyze: 1) queen densities per liter of nest soil, 2) fat content (%), 3) oviposition rates , and 4) the queen / worker thorax volume ratios of individuals from nests si tuated in the contact and invaded zones. All these parameters are good estimators of the invasive capabilities of colonies, as they are related to dispersion speed and successful colony foundation. |
