(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)The distribution and metabolism of ¹⁴C-1-(6¹-7¹-dimethyl oct-2¹-enyl)4-ethyl phenyl ether (R-20458) and (2,3-³3H)-7-epoxy-1-(p-ethyl-phenoxy)-3-ethyl-7-methylnonane (R0-10-3108) were studied in small colonies of the imported ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Studies conducted in the Texas coastal plains during the period July 1971 through May 1974 demonstrated that mounds of the red imported dire ant, Solenopsis invictaBuren, can be detected on natural color (NC), color infrared ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Studies are presented on the metabolism of methoprene, an insect growth regulator, by the castes of the imported fire ant, (IFA), Solenopsis invicta Buren. The relative rates of metabolism of methoprene in the IFA castes ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)The larvae of the imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren have 4 larval instars, as determined by observation of molting and by comparing newly molted larvae with those ready to molt to the next stage. First instar ...

Mutualism of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, with honeydew-producing homoptera (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, was observed to associate mutualistically with the following Homoptera in Brazos Co., Texas: the corn leaf aphid, Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch), on sweet corn and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Morphology has been determined from serial sectioning and dissections of the post-pharyngeal, maxillary, mandibular, and labial glands of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren. Various parameters such as ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)The male reproductive system of the fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren consists of the testes, vasa efferentia, vasa deferentia, seminal vesicles, accessory glands, ejaculatory duct, wedge, aedeagal bladder and external ...
-
(2015-12-16)The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren) is one of the worst invasive species in the United States. Investigating their physiology to understand its molecular basis could lead to the discovery of new gene targets ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Transmission electron microscopy, ultrastructural histochemistry and electron microprobe analyses were used to study the development, normal structure and histolysis of the flight musculature in the fire and Solenopsis ...
