Analysis of Insect Cuticular Compounds by Non-lethal Solid Phase Micro Extraction with Styrene-Divinylbenzene Copolymers
(SPRINGERDORDRECHT, 2012)
Insect cuticular hydrocarbons including relatively non-volatile chemicals play important roles in cuticle protection and chemical communication. The conventional procedures for extracting cuticular compounds from insects ...
Cuticular Hydrocarbon Variation of Castes and Sex in the Weaver Ant Camponotus textor (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVCHICO, 2012)
Cuticular hydrocarbons play important roles as chemical signatures of individuals, castes, sex and brood. They also can mediate the regulation of egg laying in ants, by informing directly or indirectly the reproductive ...
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 ...
Characterization of cuticular hydrocarbons of diploid and haploid males, workers and queens of the stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata
(SPRINGER BASEL AGBASEL, 2012)
Males, queens and workers of stingless bees show differences in external morphology, behaviour and roles within a colony. In addition, each individual has a cuticular chemical signature responsible for mutual communication ...
Characterizing honeybee cuticular hydrocarbons during foraging
(California State University, 2019-05)
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) adjust their time and effort during foraging activity. Their metabolic rates together with body temperature rise while gathering profitable resources. These physiological changes may result in a ...
Nest-mate recognition in Manuelia postica (Apidae: Xylocopinae): An eusocial trait is present in a solitary bee
(Royal Society, 2008)
In eusocial Hymenoptera, females are more tolerant towards nest-mate than towards non-nest-mate females. In solitary Hymenoptera, females are generally aggressive towards any conspecific female. Field observations of the ...
Comparison and correlation between chemical profiles of cephalic salivary glands and cuticle surface of workers of apis mellifera (Hymenoptera, Apidae)
(2017-01-01)
The cuticle surface of insects displays functions in communication, such as recognition. It is known that oenocytes are responsible for the origin of the compounds found in the epicuticle. Secretion of exocrine glands might ...
Hidrocarburos cuticulares que intervienen en el reconocimiento intraespecífico de toxotrypana curvicauda (diptera: tephritidae)
(2018-08-14)
RESUMEN: Los hidrocarburos cuticulares constituyen la epicutícula de los insectos, cumplen la función de evitar la deshidratación y funcionan como señales de reconocimiento inter e intraespecífico. Debido a que varían entre ...
