2006 article

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

Buczkowski, G., & Silverman, J. (2006, January 19). Animal Behaviour.

By: G. Buczkowski n & J. Silverman n

topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Plant and animal studies; Insect and Pesticide Research
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 article

Diet-Related Modification of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Profiles of the Argentine Ant, Linepithema humile, Diminishes Intercolony Aggression

Buczkowski, G., Kumar, R., Suib, S. L., & Silverman, J. (2005, April 1). Journal of Chemical Ecology.

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
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Plant and animal studies; Insect and Pesticide Research
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

BUCZKOWSKI, G. R. Z. E. G. O. R. Z., VARGO, E. D. W. A. R. D. L., & SILVERMAN, J. U. L. E. S. (2004, July 6). Molecular Ecology.

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
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Plant and animal studies; Animal Behavior and Reproduction
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.

2003 article

Nestmate discrimination in ants: effect of bioassay on aggressive behavior

Roulston, T. H., Buczkowski, G., & Silverman, J. (2003, April 1). Insectes Sociaux.

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

author keywords: aggression assay; Formicidae; nestmate recognition; Argentine ants; Linepithema humile
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Plant and animal studies; Insect and Pesticide Research
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)

Emetophagy: Fipronil-Induced Regurgitation of Bait and Its Dissemination from German Cockroach Adults to Nymphs

Buczkowski, G., & Schal, C. (2001, November 1). Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, Vol. 71, pp. 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
topics (OpenAlex): Insects and Parasite Interactions; Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Insect and Pesticide Research
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)

Transfer of Ingested Insecticides Among Cockroaches: Effects of Active Ingredient, Bait Formulation, and Assay Procedures

Buczkowski, G., Kopanic, R. J., & Schal, C. (2001, October 1). Journal of Economic Entomology.

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
topics (OpenAlex): Insects and Parasite Interactions; Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior
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)
