Geographical variation in Argentine ant aggression behaviour mediated by environmentally derived nestmate recognition cues

ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 71, 327–335.

By: G. Buczkowski n & J. Silverman n

TL;DR: Identifying factors underlying geographical variation in cue expression and/or perception may bring us closer to elucidating the selective forces driving nestmate recognition systems, which may be responsible for the altered behaviour observed in the California population.

2005 journal article

Diet-related modification of cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of the Argentine ant, Linepithema humile, diminishes intercolony aggression

JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ECOLOGY, 31(4), 829–843.

By: G. Buczkowski n, R. Kumar *, S. Suib * & J. Silverman n

author keywords: Argentine ant; cuticular hydrocarbons; diet; invasive ants; nestmate recognition; unicoloniality
MeSH headings : Aggression / physiology; Animals; Ants / physiology; Argentina; Diet; Hydrocarbons / metabolism; Population Dynamics; Predatory Behavior / physiology
TL;DR: It is suggested that acquisition of common exogenous nestmate recognition cues from shared food sources may diminish aggression and promote fusion in neighboring colonies of the Argentine ant. (via Semantic Scholar)

The diminutive supercolony: the Argentine ants of the southeastern United States

MOLECULAR ECOLOGY, 13(8), 2235–2242.

By: G. Buczkowski n, E. Vargo n & J. Silverman n

author keywords: Argentine ant; introduced species; invasive ants; microsatellites; nestmate recognition; unicoloniality
MeSH headings : Aggression / physiology; Animals; Ants / genetics; Ants / physiology; California; Demography; Gene Frequency; Genetic Variation; Genetics, Population; Geography; Microsatellite Repeats / genetics; Population Dynamics; Southeastern United States; Temperature
TL;DR: The results show that the southeastern L. humile population has high genotypic variability and strong intercolony aggression relative to the California population, suggesting that distinctly different colonization patterns for California and the Southeast may be responsible for the striking disparity in the genetic diversity of introduced populations.

Nestmate discrimination in ants: effect of bioassay on aggressive behavior

INSECTES SOCIAUX, 50(2), 151–159.

By: T. Roulston n, G. Buczkowski n & J. Silverman n

author keywords: aggression assay; Formicidae; nestmate recognition; Argentine ants; Linepithema humile
TL;DR: All live ant assays tested are useful tools for analyzing aggressive interactions between colonies, but that the pairing of a live and dead ant produced inconsistent results and generally lower levels of aggression. (via Semantic Scholar)

2001 journal article

Emetophagy: Fipronil-induced regurgitation of bait and its dissemination from German cockroach adults to nymphs

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY, 71(3), 147–155.

By: G. Buczkowski n & C. Schal n 

Contributors: G. Buczkowski n & C. Schal n 

author keywords: Blattella germanica; emetophagy; fipronil; horizontal toxicant transfer; bait; trophallaxis
TL;DR: Emetophagy, the ingestion of insecticide-induced regurgitate, may constitute an important mechanism by which fast-acting, emetogenic insecticides are disseminated within cockroach populations. (via Semantic Scholar)

2001 journal article

Transfer of ingested insecticides among cockroaches: Effects of active ingredient, bait formulation, and assay procedures

JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 94(5), 1229–1236.

By: G. Buczkowski n, R. Kopanic* & C. Schal* 

author keywords: Blattella germanica; coprophagy; horizontal toxicant transfer; bait
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Assay / methods; Blattellidae / metabolism; Boric Acids / metabolism; Chlorpyrifos / metabolism; Insect Control / methods; Insecticides / metabolism; Ivermectin / analogs & derivatives; Ivermectin / metabolism; Male; Pesticide Residues; Pheromones / metabolism; Pyrazoles / metabolism; Pyrimidinones / metabolism
TL;DR: In the absence of cannibalism and necrophagy, translocation of baits and secondary kill are most effective with slow acting insecticides in palatable baits that can traverse the digestive tract and be deposited within and around the cockroach aggregation. (via Semantic Scholar)
