Abstract excerpt
Our study focused on colony dynamics of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), in relation to the standard practice of planting rye grass (i.e., plowing) in the fall in Louisiana. Microsatellite molecular markers were used to determine genotypes of individuals from red imported fire ant colonies. These markers allowed us to monitor treatment effect by detecting changes in...
