“…5B), and young of the toad Bufo houstonensis (Sanders) (Freed and Neitman 1988). When fire ants are present in nests of the alligator, Alligator mississippiensis (Daudin), hatching alligator young are subject of predation (Allen et al 1997b). Nesting Pseudemys nelsoni (Carr) turtles are vulnerable when pipping, with mortality as high as 70% (C.R.A.…”

“…Fire ants primarily feed on other insects, but will consume almost any animal or plant material (Vinson & Sorenson 1986). Negative impacts from fire ants have been documented on a broad assortment of invertebrates (Porter & Savignano 1990, Epperson & Allen 2010 and vertebrates (Ridlehuber 1982, Sikes & Arnold 1986, Smith et al 1990, Holtcamp et al 1997, Allen et al 1997b.…”
