Abstract:
Within ant communities, the biotic resistance of native species against invasive ones is expected to be rare, because invasive species are often highly dominant competitors. The invasive Argentine ant (Linepithema humile (Mayr)) often demonstrated numerical dominance against its opponents, increased aggressiveness, and ability to quickly recruit to food. The present study aimed to assess the behavioral mechanisms involved in the interspecific competition between L. humile, facing either an invasive species (Lasius neglectus Van Loon, Boomsma and Andrásfalvy) or a native dominant species (Lasius niger (Linnaeus)). The resource exploitation by the Argentine ant was investigated during one-hour competitive interactions using 10 dead Drosophila flies as prey. When facing La. niger, L. humile exploratory behavior was strongly inhibited, it brought very few prey resources, and killed few opponents. Conversely, La. neglectus had a low impact on L. humile. Contrarily to expectations, the invasive La. neglectus lacked the ability to hinder L. humile resource exploitation, whereas the native La. niger did. These results suggest that La. niger could impact invasive populations of L. humile by interference competition, perhaps better so than some invasive species. While L. humile has become invasive in Southern Europe, the invasion process could be slowed down in the northern latitudes by such native dominant species.

Abstract:
Although it is increasingly clear that exotic invasive species affect seed-dispersal mutualisms, a synthetic examination of the effect of exotic invasive species on seed-dispersal mutualisms is lacking. Here, we review the impacts of the invasive Argentine ant ( Linepithema humile ) on seed dispersal. We found that sites with L. humile had 92 per cent fewer native ant seed dispersers than did sites where L. humile was absent. In addition, L. humile did not replace native seed dispersers, as rates of seed removal and seedling establishment were all lower in the presence of L. humile than in its absence. We conclude that potential shifts in plant diversity and concomitant changes in ecosystem function may be a consequence of Argentine ant invasions, as well as invasions by other ant species. Because very few studies have examined the effects of non-ant invasive species on seed-dispersal mutualisms, the prevalence of disruption of seed-dispersal mutualisms by invasive species is unclear.

Abstract:
Thesium humile Vahl (Santalaceae) is a root-hemiparasite which causes economic losses in cereal crops in the Mediterranean countries. O2 exchange measurements showed that photosynthesis does occur in Thesium. Experiments using 14CO2 gave additional evidence of the photosynthetic capacity of T. humile at both preparasitic and parasitic stages; roots of T. humile, unlike those of non-parasitic plants, exhibited a low sink strength for photosynthates. The end product of photosynthesis in T. humile is mannitol which is also the main carbohydrate translocated in the phloem. Nevertheless, feeding host leaf with [3H]glucose clearly demonstrated that the parasite, in spite of its photosynthetic capacity, remained dependent upon its host for an additional supply of reduced carbon. Moreover, in isolated T. humile shoots supplied with [14C]sucrose via the transpiration stream, the absorbed sucrose was rapidly converted into mannitol. Thus the parasite would be able to convert sucrose derived from the host plant into mannitol. The present work gives clear evidence that mannitol can be regarded as the major soluble carbohydrate in the carbon metabolism and in the translocation of reduced carbon in T. humile. The mannitol synthesis pathway might be a metabolic target for the chemical control of this parasite in cereals, in which this polyol has never been detected.

Abstract:
AbstractAsian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae), is an invasive citrus pest in southern California, which secretes honeydew and has the potential to spread a lethal bacterial disease, huanglongbing, of citrus. In urban citrus, Argentine ant, Linepithema humile (Mayr) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), also an invasive pest, tends honeydew-producing hemipterans. We used field data to determine whether the mutualistic relationship between L. humile and six established species of honeydew producers may hinder or favor the establishment of D. citri and its biological control with Tamarixia radiata (Waterston) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in citrus via competition or mutualism for ants, respectively. In the field, L. humile and D. citri are engaged in a mutualistic relationship. Ants harvest solid honeydew secreted by psyllid nymphs and tended more than 55% of observed D. citri colonies. Linepithema humile displayed a preference hierarchy when tending honeydew producers infesting citrus. It responded equally or less intensively to D. citri than to other honeydew-producing species. Consequently, the mutualism between L. humile and D. citri was affected by the presence of other honeydew-producing species, and the percentage of D. citri colonies tended by L. humile. The number of ants per D. citri colony also decreased as the number of other honeydew producers increased. Diaphorina citri density was also affected by the presence of other honeydew producers. Both colony size and the number of D. citri nymphs counted per tree decreased as the number of other honeydew producers increased. Our results indicate that competition between honeydew producers for the mutualist ant L. humile may hinder the establishment of D. citri by possibly facilitating increased biological control.

Abstract:
Pesticides are frequently used to eradicate invasive ant species, but pose ecological harm. Previous studies assessed non-target effects only in terms of the increase or decrease of abundance or species richness after pesticide applications. Positive effects of the release from pressure caused by invasive ant species have not been considered so far. To more accurately assess pesticide effects in the field, the non-target effects of pesticides should be considered separately from the positive effects of such releases. Here, we used monitoring data of ants and other invertebrates collected in a program for the eradication of the Argentine ant, Linepithema humile (Mayr), using fipronil. First, we separately assessed the effects of L. humile abundance and fipronil exposure on non-target ants and other invertebrates using generalized linear models. The abundance of L. humile and the number of pesticide treatments were negatively associated with the total number of non-target individuals and taxonomic richness. We also noted negative relationships between the number of individuals of some ant species and other invertebrate taxonomic groups. The L. humile × pesticide interaction was significant, suggesting that the abundance of L. humile affected the level of impact of pesticide treatment on non-target fauna. Second, we evaluated the dynamics of non-target ant communities for 3 years using principal response curve analyses. Non-target ant communities treated with fipronil continuously for 3 years recovered little, whereas those treated for 1 year recovered to the level of the untreated and non-invaded environment.

A mosca-branca Bemisia tuberculata (Bondar, 1923) (Hem.: Aleyrodidae) é uma das principais pragas da cultura da mandioca no Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul; no entanto, não há produtos registrados para seu controle. Produtos vegetais podem constituir em alternativa viável de controle de insetos e, por sua fotodegradabilidade, diminuir os riscos ao ambiente e ao homem. Objetivou-se, por meio deste trabalho, avaliar o efeito do extrato aquoso do "cajuzinho-do-cerrado" Anacardium humile St Hill (Anacardeaceae), nas concentrações de 2,0; 0,8; 0,4 e 0,05%, sobre a biologia de B. tuberculata, bem como identificar a classe de metabólitos secundários presentes no referido extrato. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, sob temperatura de 26±4°C. O extrato aquoso de A. humile causou aumento da duração da fase larval e mortalidade significativamente superior à testemunha em todas as concentrações testadas. Concluiu-se que o extrato aquoso de folhas de A. humile provoca mortalidade em ninfas de B. tuberculata e alongamento da fase das ninfas sobreviventes. O extrato aquoso de folhas de A. humile apresenta taninos, açúcares redutores e saponinas, e o seu índice de espuma (Índice Afrosimétrico) é de 1250.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Variation in 30 chloroplast DNAs, representing 22 wild and cultivated accessions in the genus Pisum, was analyzed by comparing fragment patterns produced by 16 restriction endonucleases. Three types of mutations were detected. First, an inversion of between 2.2 kilobase pairs (kb) and 5.2 kb distinguished a population of P. humile from all other Pisum accessions examined. Second, deletions and insertions of between 50 and 1200 base pairs produced small restriction fragment length variations in four regions of the 120-kb chloroplast genome. Two of these regions—one of which is located within the sequence that is inverted in P. humile—showed a high degree of size polymorphism, to the extent that size differences were detected between individuals from the same accession. Finally, a total of only 11 restriction site mutations were detected among the 165 restriction sites sampled in the 30 DNAs. Based on these results and previous data, we conclude that the chloroplast genome is evolving very slowly relative to nuclear and mitochondrial DNAs. The Pisum chloroplast DNA restriction site mutations define two major lineages: One includes all tested accessions of P. fulvum, which is known to be cytogenetically quite distinct from all other Pisum taxa. The second includes 12 of 13 cultivated lines of the garden pea (P. sativum) and a wild population of P. humile from northern Israel. These observations strongly reinforce an earlier conclusion that the cultivated pea was domesticated primarily from northern populations of P. humile. A 13th P. sativum cultivar has a chloroplast genome that is significantly different from those of the aforementioned lines and somewhat more similar to those of P. elatius and southern populations of P. humile. This observation indicates that secondary hybridization may have occurred during the domestication of the garden pea.

Abstract:
On sait que la reine des insectes sociaux joue un role capital dans la reproduction. Son role dans l'attraction des ouvrieres et la realisation de la cour royale est moins connu. En choisissant comme modele la fourmi d'argentine linepithema humile nous avons etudie les conditions qui regissent l'agregation des ouvrieres autour des reines. Nous avons demontre que les ouvrieres sont beaucoup plus attirees par leurs propres reines que par des reines d'origine geographique eloignee. Des differences genetiques et/ou environnementales entre les complexes pheromonaux emis dans les deux situations pourraient etre a la base de cette discrimination. Des experiences menees sur des cadavres royaux et sur des reines vivantes ont permis de cerner les facteurs responsables de l'attraction royale. Elles mettent en evidence le role de substances chimiques, a court rayon d'action, emises par la reine et percues par les ouvrieres grace a une chimioreception de contact. L'hypothese que des hydrocarbures cuticulaires puissent etre a l'origine de cette attraction a ete envisagee. Nous avons donc essaye d'eliminer les substances impliquees dans cette attraction en lavant les cadavres de reines au moyen de solvants organiques. Ceci a entraine une forte reduction du pouvoir attractif royal, confirmant l'existence d'une substance chimique cuticulaire. D'autres experiences ont mis en evidence un lien etroit entre l'attraction royale, l'age de la reine et son statut physiologique. L'attractivite faible a l'emergence de la reine vierge, le reste encore au moment de la fecondation et de la perte des ailes. C'est au declenchement de l'ovogenese, c'est-a-dire au demarrage de l'activite de ponte que cette attractivite augmente de facon significative

Resumo: Anacardium humile St. Hil. conhecida popularmente como cajuzinho-do-cerrado é uma planta com hábito arbustivo que pertence à família Anacardiaceae e ao gênero Anacardium; é tipicamente tropical, sendo encontrada nos cerrados e em algumas regiões da Mata Atlântica. Essa planta é utilizada na medicina popular contra inflamações em gerais e distúrbios gastrointestinais. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a atividade antiulcerogênica de extrato e frações da A. humile St. Hil. A partir do extrato metanólico (EMeOH) da A. humile St. Hil. duas frações foram obtidas, uma acetato (FAc) e outra aquosa (FAq). O EMeOH dessa espécie, nas doses de 250, 500 e 1000 mg.kg-1, via oral, foi estudado apenas em modelos de úlceras induzidas agudamente (etanol, piroxicam). Já as frações FAc e FAq nas doses de 50 e 200 mg.kg-1, respectivamente, além dos modelos de úlceras induzidas agudamente (etanol e piroxicam); também foram avaliados no modelo crônico (ácido acético 30 %) em camundongos e ratos. A via intraduodenal foi empregada somente para as frações no modelo de ligadura do piloro. Tanto extrato, quanto frações, inibiram significativamente as lesões ulcerativas desencadeadas pelos diferentes agentes. Também foram observadas alterações significativas nos parâmetros bioquímicos da secreção gástrica, como elevação do pH na FAq. Estes resultados sugeriram atividade anti-secretória e citoprotetora para essa fração. No pré-tratamento com as frações, apenas FAq produziu, no modelo de úlcera por acido acético, redução da área da lesão. Adicionalmente, verificou-se que a atividade antiulcerogênica da FAc está relacionada ao aumento da PGE2, justificando o aumento do muco aderido. Grupamento sulfidrilas protéicos perecem estar envolvidos com a atividade de ambas frações, enquanto que 39 óxido nítrico participa apenas da ação da fração FAc. Análises cromatográficas e RMN preliminares demonstraram que a FAc contém ácido gálico, galato de metila, catequina, amentoflavona. Na FAq as mesmas análise demonstraram uma grande quantidade de taninos. O conjunto de dados permite concluir que a atividade antiulcerogênica do extrato e das frações da A. humile St. Hil. está relacionada à ação anti-secretória dos taninos e dos flavonóides existentes nessa espécie
Abstract: Anacardium humile St. Hil. known as popularly ¿cajuzinho-do-cerrado¿ is a plant with arbustivo habit that belongs to the Anacardiaceae family and the Anacardium genus, is typically tropical, being found in the Cerrado, a savannah like vegetation and some regions of Mata Atlântica. This plant is used in the popular medicine against inflammations gastrointestinal. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the antiulcerogenic activity of extract and fractions of the A. humile St. Hil. From the metanólico extract (EMeOH) of the A. humile St. Hil. two fractions had been gotten, an acetate (FAc) and another aqueous (FAq). The EMeOH of this species, in the doses of 250, 500 and 1000 mg.kg-1, v.o. was studied only in models of induced ulcers acutely (ethanol, piroxicam). Already the fractions FAc and FAq in the doses of 50 and 200 mg.kg-1 respectively, beyond the models of induced ulcers acutely (ethanol and piroxicam) the chronic model (acid acetic 30 %) was evaluated, in mice and rats. The intraduodenal way was only used for the fractions in the model of pylorus-ligated. As much extract how much fractions had inhibited significantly the ulcerative injuries unchained by the different agents. Significant alterations in the parameter biochemists had been observed in the gastric secretion, as rise of pH in the FAq. These results had suggested anti-secretory and citoprotetora activity for this fraction. In the pretreatment with the fractions, only FAq produced, in the acetic acid-induced ulcers, reduction of the area of the injury. Additionally, the increase of mucus was verified that the antiulcerogenic activity of the FAc is related to the increase of the PGE2, justifying the increase of adhered mucus. Endogenous sulfhydryl perish to be involved with the activity of both fractions, while that nitric oxide is involved only with the FAc. Fraction preliminary chromatographic analyses and RMN they had demonstrated that the FAc contains acid gallic, methyl gallate, catequin, amentoflavone. In the FAq this analysis had demonstrated a great amount of tanning barks. The data set allows to conclude that the antiulcerogenic activity of the extract and the fractions of the A. humile St. Hil. is related to the anti-secretory activity of tannin and the existing flavonóides in this species

Abstract:
Invasive species have major impacts on the ecosystems they invade. Among the most disruptive groups of invasive species are ants. Invasive ants have caused losses in biodiversity among a wide range of taxa, including birds, mammals, lizards, but especially towards ground nesting arthropods such as native ants. Why native ants are so susceptible to invasion and how invasive ants are able to sustain massive population growth remain unclear. It has been suggested that invasive ants utilize carbohydrate resources from hemipteran exudates to fuel aggressive foraging and colony expansion. Perhaps invasive ants are simply more proficient at usurping these resources, maintaining higher hemipteran populations, etc. Our work uses a model invasive, the Argentine ant, , Linepithema humile, and a native ant Tapinoma sessile to quantify hemipteran tending ability and competition. Through a series of laboratory and field experiments we were able to quantify 1) carbohydrate sequestering performance, 2) the effect either ant species had on hemipteran population growth rates in a predator-free space, 3) the defense ability of either ant against hemipteran predators and parasitoids, and 4) the proportion of invasive ants required to displace a native colony from a hemipteran resource. Neither ant demonstrated a better ability to sequester liquid resources; however recruitment strategies were much different. Hemipteran populations in the presence of L. humile grew larger in a predator free environment and populations exposed to predators were better defended by L. humile than T. sessile. L. humile was able to displace T. sessile from a nest site without having a majority of worker ants. Aggression of either ant species was significantly reduced without hemipterans present. Understanding factors that drive invasive species can give us insight into native areas that may be susceptible for invasion, how potential mutualist populations might respond and possibly provide us with an avenue for secondary control measures given the economic and ecological importance of invasive species.

Dans cette these nous etudions les repercussions des caracteristiques ecologiques de la fourmi d'argentine, linepithema humile, sur son organisation socio-genetique (= osg). Nous definissons l'osg comme l'ensemble des facteurs qui conduisent aux liens de parente entre les individus d'une societe. Nous montrons, en analysant les resultats de la litterature, que l'osg est tres variable chez les formicidae. Ainsi, la parente entre individus d'un meme nid varie autant entre especes d'un meme genre, qu'entre populations d'une meme espece. Les populations se regroupent autour de deux valeurs de parente, l'une proche de 0,6, l'autre de 0. La consanguinite a l'interieur des populations est en general proche de 0. Il n'y a pas de correlation entre parente a l'interieur des societes et consanguinite dans la population. La frequence d'insemination des reines de formicidae est toujours inferieure a 2. Enfin, la differentiation des populations de formicidae est habituellement faible, quelle que soit l'echelle de l'echantillonnage. La fourmi d'argentine fait partie du groupe d'especes appelees vagabondes pour leur propension au mouvement et a la migration. Cette strategie s'accompagne d'une perte des frontieres entre nids differents et une mise en commun des ressources: l'unicolonialite. Par l'emploi de marqueurs allozymatiques, nous determinons ici l'osg de la fourmi d'argentine. Dans toutes les populations etudiees, la parente entre ouvrieres ou entre reines, est proche de 0. La consanguinite est tres faible egalement, sauf chez une population, pour laquelle il reste difficile de trouver une explication valable. La frequence d'insemination des reines examinees est proche de 1. Aucun males diploide n'a ete decouvert.

Abstract:
The Argentine ant, Linepithema humile, is a widespread invasive species characterized by reduced intraspecific aggression within its introduced range. To gain an understanding of mechanisms underlying nestmate recognition in the Argentine ant, I studied its population genetic structure and the role of genetic vs. environmental cues on aggression. I combine behavioral, genetic, and analytical data to explore the role of exogenous cues and recent changes in the population genetic structure on nestmate recognition in this ant. In Chapter II, I examined population genetic structure and intercolony aggression in two portions of the Argentine ant introduced range: California and the southeastern U.S. I describe factors that may have contributed to the present-day differences in genetic diversity between these two regions and I also suggest ecological factors that may have contributed to regional differences in current distribution patterns of the Argentine ant. In Chapter III, I examined the context-dependency of nestmate discrimination in the Argentine ant and the effect of action thresholds on exogenous cue recognition. I also tested hypotheses that explain a change in action thresholds as well as factors that affect action thresholds. I examined changes in intraspecific aggression in various discrimination contexts. I tested the importance of isolated nest referents on aggression thresholds. In Chapter IV, I examined the impact of different diet-derived hydrocarbons on intraspecific aggression in the Argentine ant and the potential of shared, diet-derived hydrocarbons to produce colony uniformity where intercolony genetic and/or environmental differences exist. In Chapter V, I examined the role of environmental cues on nestmate recognition in two populations of the Argentine ant. I tested the hypothesis that there is geographical variation in the response of Argentine ants to nestmate recognition cues derived from prey. In Appendix I, I use the Argentine ant to compare four aggression bioassays for consistency between replicates, similarity between assays, and ability to predict whole colony interactions. I tested four different aggression assays with two or three scoring methods per assay. I also determined whether isolated aggressive encounters could predict whole colony interactions.

Aedes aegypti is the major vector of dengue, chikungunya and zika fever. Currently, with the lack of specific therapeutic and prophylactic measures, the main way to prevent these arboviruses is vector control. This control is performed mainly with the application of insecticides, but continuous use of these substances favored the emergence of resistant populations, making it necessary to develop alternative strategies for vector control. An example is the survey of vegetable substances which may interfere with the development of the mosquito. In this sense, the Cerrado plants the may be a promising way. In this study, was investigated the insecticidal activity of Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) produced by the species Anacardium humile on Aedes aegypti, the dengue vector, Chikungunya and Zika virus. Fruits of A. humile were collected and kept in greenhouse of forced ventilation at 40º Celsius during seven days for the extraction of CNSL. Were performed mortality tests of third instar larvae (L3), pupa and adult, besides the observation of the oviposition behavior of females and viability of eggs and observation of the residual effect of solution. The CNSL was diluted in decreasing gradual concentrations from 1000 to 3ppm, to obtain the Lethal Concentrations (LC). In oviposition the LC99 was used for larvae. The tests of residual effect and oviposition were given in two stages, a pilot test of 100ppm and a test with the LC99. Was obtained LC50 and LC90, respectively, 6.63 and 11.23ppm for larvae; 276 and 728.62ppm for pupae, not being observed mortality in adults. The residual effect of the solution was seven days in the pilot test and five days in the LC99. In the pilot test for oviposition was observed repellent effect of CNSL on females with a significant reduction of eggs number (p = 0.0001 and p=0.0348) and change in standards of stratification of the eggs on oviposition substrate. The larval hatching rate of the eggs exposed to moistened substrate with CNSL was significantly lower (p = 0.0102) when compared to the control. The results presented evidence the insecticidal activity of the CNSL of A. humile, indicating it as a promising product in the research for new botanical insecticides. This way, further studies should be conducted in order to verify possible toxicity of the liquid to other animals.
Aedes aegypti é o principal vetor do dengue e das febres chikungunya e zika. Até o momento, devido à inexistência de medidas terapêuticas e profiláticas específicas, a principal forma de prevenção dessas arboviroses é o controle do vetor. Esse controle é realizado principalmente com aplicação de inseticidas, porém o uso contínuo dessas substâncias favoreceu o aparecimento de populações resistentes, tornando necessário o desenvolvimento de estratégias alternativas para o controle vetorial. Um exemplo é a pesquisa de substâncias vegetais que possam interferir no desenvolvimento do mosquito. Nesse sentido, as plantas do Cerrado podem ser um caminho promissor. Este trabalho investigou a atividade inseticida do líquido da castanha de caju (LCC) extraído da espécie Anacardium humile, planta nativa do Cerrado. Frutos de A. humile foram coletados e mantidos em estufa de ventilação forçada a 40ºC por sete dias para a extração do LCC. Foram realizados testes de mortalidade de larvas de terceiro estádio (L3), pupa e adulto. Além disso, observou-se o comportamento de oviposição das fêmeas, viabilidade dos ovos e o efeito residual da solução sobre L3. O LCC foi diluído em concentrações gradativas decrescentes de 1000 a 3ppm, para obtenção das concentrações letais (CL). Na oviposição foi empregada a CL99 para larvas. Os testes de efeito residual e oviposição se deram em duas etapas, um teste-piloto a 100ppm e um teste com a CL99. Obtiveram-se as CL50 e CL90 respectivamente, 6,63 e 11,23ppm para larvas; 276 e 728,62ppm para pupas. Não foi observada a mortalidade em adultos. O efeito residual da solução foi de sete dias no teste piloto e cinco dias na CL99. No teste piloto para oviposição observou-se efeito repelente do LCC sobre as fêmeas havendo redução significativa do número de ovos (p=0,0001 e p=0,0348) e mudança nos padrões de estratificação dos ovos no substrato de oviposição. Contudo, a taxa de eclosão larval dos ovos expostos ao substrato umedecido com LCC foi significativamente menor (p=0,0102) quando comparada ao controle. Os resultados apresentados evidenciam a atividade inseticida do LCC de A. humile, sugerindo-o como produto promissor na pesquisa por novos inseticidas botânicos. Dessa forma, mais estudos devem ser realizados a fim de verificar possível toxicidade do líquido para outros animais.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Invasion by the notorious tramp species, the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile Mayr) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) has caused major concern around the globe, owing to its displacement of native ant species and other invertebrates where it invades. This species was first recorded in South Africa in 1901 in Stellenbosch, Western Cape Province (WCP), and has now become a significant pest in most urban and agricultural areas in the country. The Argentine ant has received relatively little attention in South Africa compared to other countries (e.g. California, North America). To date the extent of invasion by this species countrywide, as well as its impact on the local ant fauna inside protected areas, has not been quantified. In this study, the impact of the Argentine ant on native ant fauna inside three protected areas in the WCP (Helderberg Nature Reserve (HNR), Jonkershoek Nature Reserve (JNR) and Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve KBR)) was assessed. Species richness and diversity were compared between invaded and uninvaded bait stations at each protected area. Several native ant species were found to be displaced by the Argentine ant from all three protected areas, although three species: Meranoplus peringueyi, Monomorium sp. 8 and Tetramorium quadrispinosum, were found coexisting with it. Invaded bait stations had significantly lower ant species richness and species turnover than uninvaded bait stations. Uninvaded bait stations contained eight times more native ant species than invaded bait stations. Thus, the invasion of protected areas by the Argentine ant has severe negative consequences for the species richness and assemblage structure of native ants, leading to the biotic homogenization of these local ant communities. The distribution range of the Argentine ant inside the three protected areas (HNR, JNR, KBR), as well as microhabitat preferences that may facilitate the spread of this species inside these reserves, was also assessed. Helderberg Nature Reserve was the most invaded protected area, with the highest level of the Argentine ant occupancy, while JNR and KBR had lower occupancy levels. At all the three protected areas, this species was dominant at lower altitudinal areas, and also showed a clear preference for areas with high anthropogenic disturbances, i.e. around buildings and on lawns (picnic areas). In this study, there was no evidence that moisture availability facilitates the distribution and spread of the Argentine ant inside these reserves. Finally, a combination of published literature records, museum records and records collected in the current study was used to quantify the current distributional extent of the Argentine ant throughout urban South Africa. This is the first study quantifying the distribution and extent of invasion by the Argentine ant throughout the country. The Argentine ant was found in six of the nine South African Provinces, and its extent of occurrence includes approximately half of the country’s land surface area. Discontinuities in the distribution of the Argentine ant across the country revealed that range expansion of the Argentine ant in South Africa is occurring predominantly via human-mediated jump dispersal, rather than naturally via nest diffusion. This study clearly demonstrated that the Argentine ant is well established across South Africa as well as inside protected areas. The Argentine ant invasion was influenced by the presence of human modified landscapes (i.e. buildings) both at low and high altitude, and this was associated with higher rates of native ant species displacement at these areas. Therefore, limiting the development of recreational areas, such as buildings and picnic sites inside protected areas will result in the lower rate of spread of the Argentine ant. This will in turn lower the extent of displacement of native ant species.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Indringing deur die Argentynse mier (Linepithema humile Mayr) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is ‘n bron van groot kommer regoor die wêreld, as gevolg van sy vermoë om inheemse mier spesies en ander ongewerweldes te verplaas. Hierdie spesie is vir die eerste keer aangeteken in Suid-Afrika in 1901, in Stellenbosch, Weskaap Provinsie (WCP), en het ‘n belangrike pes geword in die meeste stedelike en landelike gebiede in die land. Die Argentynse mier het betreklik min aandag gekry in Suid-Afrika, in vergelyking met ander lande (bv. California, Noord Amerika). Tans is die omvang van die landwye indringing van hierdie spesie, sowel as sy impak op die plaaslike mier fauna binne beskermde areas, nog nie bepaal nie. In hierdie studie word die impak van die Argentynse mier op die inheemse mier fauna binne drie beskermde areas in die WCP (Helderberg Natuurreservaat (HNR), Jonkershoek Natuurreservaat (JNR) en Kogelberg Biosfeerreservaat (KBR)) bepaal. Spesierykheid en diversiteit was vergelyk tussen ingedringde en oningedringde lokaas stasies in elke beskermde area. Verskeie inheemse mier spesies was deur die Argentynse mier verplaas in al drie beskermde areas, alhoewel drie spesies: Meranoplus peringueyi, Monomorium sp. 8 en Tetramorium quadrispinosum het saam met dit voorgekom. Ingedringde lokaas stasies het beduidend laer mier spesierykheid en spesies omset gehad as oningedringde lokaas stasies. Dus, die indringing van beskermde areas deur die Argentynse mier het ernstige negatiewe gevolge vir die spesierykheid en gemeenskap struktuur van inheemse miere, wat lei tot die biotiese verarming van hierdie plaaslike mier gemeenskappe. Die verspreidingsarea van die Argentynse mier binne die drie beskermde areas (HNR, JNR, KBR), en die mikrohabitat voorkeure wat die verspreiding van die spesie binne hierdie reservate kan vergemaklik, was ook vasgestel. Helderberg Natuurreservaat was die mees ingedringde beskermde area, met die hoogste vlak van Argentynse mier besetting, terwyl JNR en KBR laer besettingsvlakke gehad het. By al drie die beskermde areas was hierdie spesie dominant by laer hoogtes bo seevlak en het ‘n duidelike voorkeur getoon vir areas met hoë menslike versteuring d.i. rondom geboue en op grasperke (piekniek areas). In hierdie studie was daar geen bewyse dat vog beskikbaarheid die voorkoms en verspreiding van die Argentynse mier binne die reservate vergemaklik nie. Ten slotte, ‘n kombinasie van gepubliseerde literatuur verslae, museum dokumente en verslae wat in hierdie studie versamel is, was gebruik om die huidige verspreidingsomvang van die Argentynse mier te bepaal. Dit is die eerste studie wat die verspreiding en omvang van indringing in stedelike Suid Afrika van die Argentynse mier dwarsdeur die land bepaal. Die Argentynse mier is gevind in ses van die nege provinsies in Suid-Afrika, en die omvang van sy voorkoms sluit bykans die helfte van die land se landoppervlaksarea in. Onderbrekings in die verspreiding van die Argentynse mier deur die land het blootgelê dat die uitbreiding van die voorkomsgebied van die Argentynse mier in Suid-Afrika hoofsaaklik gebeur deur mens bemiddelde verspreiding eerder as natuurlike nesverspreiding. Hierdie studie het duidelik gedemonstreer dat die Argentynse mier goed gevestig is regoor Suid-Afrika sowel as in beskermde areas. Die Argentynse mier indringing was beïnvloed deur mensgewysigde landskappe (d.i. geboue) by lae en hoë hoogtes bo seevlak, en dit was verwant aan hoër vlakke van verplasing van inheemse mier species in hierdie areas. Dus, die beperking van ontwikkeling van rekreasie areas, soos geboue en piekniekareas, in beskermde gebiede sal lei tot laer vlakke van verspreiding van die Argentynse mier. Dit sal, op sy beurt, die omvang van verplasing van die inheemse mier spesies verminder.

Resumo: Anacardium humile, popularmente conhecida como cajuzinho-do-cerrado, é utilizada na medicina tradicional para o tratamento de diversas inflamações. Extratos e frações de suas folhas apresentam compostos fenólicos e significativa atividade anti-úlcera. Nesse trabalho, avaliou-se possíveis mecanismos antioxidantes na gastroproteção conferida pela fração acetato de etila das folhas de A. humile (AHFAc). AHFAc é rica em compostos fenólicos, há mais de 30% de fenólicos solúveis nessa fração, segundo resultados do ensaio de Folin-Ciocalteu. AHFAc apresenta atividade redutora em ensaio de redução de 1,1-difenil-1-picril-hidrazila (DPPH), o que representa ação sequestradora de radicais livres em potencial. Foram registrados o perfil cromatográfico de AHFAc, em cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência e o espectro de massas com ionização por electrospray, que indicam a presença de ácido gálico e/ou derivados, quercetina, kaempferol e amentoflavona (um biflavonóide).A atividade farmacológica de AHFAc foi analisada em modelos de indução de úlcera gástrica por isquemia e reperfusão e por etanol absoluto. Ratos Unib: WH foram tratados com o veículo Tween 80® 12% (10 ml.kg-1) ou AHFAc (25, 50 e 100 mg.kg-1) e submetidos à isquemia (30 minutos) e reperfusão (60 minutos) do estômago ou à administração de 1 ml de etanol absoluto. Um grupo SHAM foi formado por animais não tratados, expostos aos procedimentos experimentais, mas sem efetiva indução de úlcera. Após a realização dos modelos de indução de úlcera gástrica, o estômago dos animais foi removido, a área de lesão ulcerativa determinada, uma porção do estômago foi fixada para análises histológicas (colorações hematoxilina-eosina e ácido periódico de Schiff) e imunohistoquímicas (reação para mieloperoxidase e superóxido dismutase) e o restante da porção glandular do estômago foi raspado e homogeneizado para ensaios bioquímicos. Foram dosados os níveis de grupamentos sulfidrila (G-SH), fragmentação de DNA, atividade das enzimas mieloperoxidase (MPO), glutationa peroxidase (GPx), glutationa redutase (GR) e superóxido dismutase (SOD). O pré-tratamento com AHFAc (50 mg.kg-1) apresenta efeito gastroprotetor nos dois modelos experimentais de úlcera gástrica analisados, com manutenção da integridade da mucosa e tendência de aumento dos níveis de muco. AHFAc evitou o aumento da atividade de MPO na mucosa gástrica de ratos submetidos aos dois modelos experimentais investigados, o que indica menor infiltração de neutrófilos no estômago dos animais tratados com a fração. Além disso, a administração de AHFAc também foi eficaz em manter os níveis normais de G-SH e fragmentação de DNA bem como da atividade da SOD e GPx na mucosa gástrica exposta à ação lesiva do etanol absoluto. A ação antiulcerogênica de AHFAc deve envolver atividade antioxidante, garantida pela sua composição fenólica, aliada a outros mecanismos de ação. Uma vez que não foi observada modulação na atividade das enzimas antioxidantes, e por apresentar capacidade redutora do DPPH, a atividade antioxidante de AHFAc provavelmente envolve sequestro de radicais livres.
Abstract: Anacardium humile, popularly known as "cajuzinho-do-cerrado", is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. Extracts and fractions of leaves of A. humile present phenolic compounds and significant antiulcer activity. In this study, we evaluated the possible antioxidant mechanisms in the antiulcerogenic activity conferred by the ethyl acetate fraction of leaves of A. humile (AHFAc). AHFAc is rich in phenolic compounds; there are more than 30% of soluble phenolic compounds in this fraction, according to results from the Folin Ciocalteu assay. AHFAc shows antioxidant activity in the 1, 1-diphenyl-1-picryl picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, which represents a potential free radical scavenging action. There have been recorded the chromatographic profile AHFAc in high performance liquid chromatography and the mass spectrum by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, which indicate the presence of gallic acid and derivatives, quercetin, kaempferol and amentoflavone (biflavonoid).The pharmacological activity of AHFAc was examined in ischemia and reperfusion induced and absolute ethanol-induced gastric ulcer models. Unib: WH rats were treated with the vehicle Tween 80 12% (10 ml.kg-1) or AHFAc (25, 50 and 100 mg.kg-1) and underwent ischemia (30 minutes) and reperfusion (60 minutes) of stomach or the administration of 1 ml of absolute ethanol. SHAM group was formed by untreated animals exposed to experimental procedures, but without effective induction of ulcer. After experimental models, the stomach of the animals was removed, the ulcerative lesion area (ULA) determined, a portion of the stomach was fixed for histological analysis (hematoxylin-eosin staining and periodic acid Schiff staining) and immunohistochemistry analysis (myeloperoxidase and superoxide dismutase), the remaining portion of the glandular stomach was scraped and homogenized for biochemical assays. We measured the levels of sulfhydryl groups (G-SH), DNA fragmentation, activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes. The pre-treatment with AHFAc (50 mg.kg-1) showed gastroprotective effect in both experimental models of gastric ulcer, while maintaining the integrity of the mucosa and a tendency for increased levels of mucus. The administration of AHFAc was also effective in maintaining normal levels of G-SH and fragmentation of DNA, SOD and GPx activities in the gastric mucosa exposed to the harmful effect of absolute ethanol. In addition, AHFAc prevented the increase of MPO activity in gastric mucosa of rats subjected to the experimental models investigated, indicating less infiltration of neutrophils in the stomach of animals treated with the fraction. The anti-ulcer action of AHFAc must involve antioxidant activity, due to its phenolic composition, combined with other mechanisms of action. Since there was no modulation in the activity of antioxidant enzymes, and for presenting reduction capacity of DPPH, the antioxidant activity of AHFAc probably involves scavenger activity of free radicals.

Abstract:
Although Argentine ant(Linepithema humile), a highly invasive ant species, has been in New Zealand for at least l4 years, little is known about their ecology and potential for invasion. Increasing spread and establishment of populations throughout New Zealand is disturbing because of the devastating impacts documented on native invertebrate biodiversity overseas. The primary aim of this study was to determine the impacts of Argentine ants on arthropods in native forest habitats in west Auckland. Pitfall traps at invaded and uninvaded sites were used to quantify ant and non-ant arthropod faunas. Argentine ants did not adversely affect native host ant communities. Moreover, two ant species appeared to be resistant to invasion. Argentine ant invasion reduced the abundance of a few orders of invertebrates while several taxa were more abundant in the presence of Argentine ants. Distribution and foraging activity of Argentine ant populations were monitored in this study from 2000-2003. Also, rate of spread was investigated to evaluate whether native forest habitats would be at risk from invasion. Measurements of foraging ant trails on monitored tree trunks revealed seasonal distribution patterns involving high activity in summer/autumn and low activity in winter/early spring. Argentine ants were found to be established primarily along the edge of the forest and did not invade into the interior of the forest during the study period. An Argentine ant poisoning operation on Tiritiri Matangi Island in January 2001 provided the opportunity to document the results of the eradication trial. In addition, pitfall traps placed at two treated sites and one untreated site were used to compare pre-poison and post-poison effects on ant and non-ant invertebrate communities. Fipronil baiting at 0.01% effectively reduced Argentine ants at the study sites and very few ants were observed in both tree count and pitfall trap recordings two months after poisoning. The invasion of Argentine ants on Tiritiri Matangi Island decimated native host ants and no recovery was detected throughout the study. Several groups of invertebrates appeared to benefit from the removal of Argentine ants while a few showed no detectable changes. Conservation implications resulting from the findings of this study are discussed Also, potential future research involving Argentine ants are outlined.

Abstract:
Oxfam s’est engagé depuis 2016, en partenariat avec des organisations internationales et nationales du Tchad, du Burkina Faso, du Niger, de la Mauritanie et du Mali, dans la mise en oeuvre des projets de renforcement de la résilience dans des zones fragilisées du Sahel financés dans le cadre du Fonds Fiduciaire d’Urgence de l’Union Européenne pour l’Afrique (FFUE). À travers notre expérience et celle des organisations avec lesquelles nous travaillons dans le cadre des projets FFUE, nous avons constaté que les différentes dynamiques de mobilité humaine présentes dans les zones d’intervention avaient des impacts sur les communautés et les projets. C’est ainsi que nous avons entamé un processus d’apprentissage croisé entre les projets FFUE où Oxfam participe afin de mieux comprendre les enjeux entre résilience et mobilité humaine dans le contexte des zones d’intervention dans ces cinq pays du Sahel.

Full text
Abstract:
Humic acid substances (HAs) in natural soil and sediment environments effect the retention and degradation of insensitive munitions compounds and legacy high explosives (MCs): DNAN, DNi- NH4+, nMNA, NQ, NTO (neutral and anionic forms), TNT, and RDX.A humic acid model compound has been considered using molecular dynamics, thermodynamic integration, and density functional theory to characterize the munition binding ability, ionization potential, and electron affinity compared to that in the water solution. Humic acids bind most compounds and act as both a sink and source for electrons. Ionization potentials suggest HAs are more susceptible to oxidation than the MCs studied. The electron affinity of HAs are very conformation-dependent and spans the same range as the munition compounds. When HAs and MCs are complexed the HAs tend to radicalize first thus buffering MCs against reductive as well as oxidative attacks.
