Correlation between mandibular gland secretion and cuticular hydrocarbons in the stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata
(2012-08-28)
We investigated whether Melipona quadrifasciata worker mandibular gland secretions contribute directly to their cuticular hydrocarbon profile. The mandibular gland secretion composition and cuticular surface compounds of ...
Correlation between mandibular gland secretion and cuticular hydrocarbons in the stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata
(2012-08-28)
We investigated whether Melipona quadrifasciata worker mandibular gland secretions contribute directly to their cuticular hydrocarbon profile. The mandibular gland secretion composition and cuticular surface compounds of ...
Characterization of cuticular hydrocarbons according to colony duties in the stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula
(Springer, 2017-08-14)
In social insects, task-related recognition plays an important role in the coordination and cohesion between members of the colony. Tetragonisca angustula is an eusocial stingless bee that presents a sophisticated system ...
Correlation between mandibular gland secretion and cuticular hydrocarbons in the stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata
(FUNPEC-EDITORARIBEIRAO PRETO, 2013-08-02)
We investigated whether Melipona quadrifasciata worker mandibular gland secretions contribute directly to their cuticular hydrocarbon profile. The mandibular gland secretion composition and cuticular surface compounds of ...
The cuticular hydrocarbons profiles in the stingless bee Melipona marginata reflect task-related differences
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
Members of social insect colonies employ a large variety of chemical signals during their life. Of these, cuticular hydrocarbons are of primary importance for social insects since they allow for the recognition of conspecifics, ...
Separation of Scaptotrigona postica Workers into Defined Task Groups by the Chemical Profile on Their Epicuticle Wax Layer
(Springer, 2014-04-01)
During evolution, the cuticle surface of insects acquired functions in communication, such as inter- and intra-specific recognition, identification of gender, physiological state, and fertility. In eusocial bees, the ...
