Cuticular hydrocarbon chemistry, an important factor shaping the current distribution pattern of the imported fire ants in the USA.
Journal of Insect Physiology(2018)
摘要
•CHCs play an important role in water proofing of fire ants.•S. richteri, S. invicta and their hybrids had distinctive CHC profiles.•The order of Tm-maxs of CHCs was S. invicta ≥ hybrid > S. richteri.•Tc-CHC significantly correlates to Tm-max obtained from the same CHCs sample.•CHC chemistry might have shaped current fire ant distribution pattern in USA.
