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, ...
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 ...
The Cuticular Hydrocarbons Profiles in the Colonial Recognition of the Neotropical Eusocial Wasp, Mischocyttarus cassununga (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
(Univ Estadual Feira Santana, 2015-03-01)
Cuticular hydrocarbons are chemical messengers with fundamental role in information transfer on the nestmate recognition, physical or behavioral caste, age, task specialization and reproductive status among individuals of ...
Cuticular Hydrocarbons Discriminate Distinct Colonies of Melipona marginata (Hymenoptera, Apinae, Meliponini)
(CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVCHICO, 2012)
The aim of the present study was to characterize the variation of the chemical profiles among workers in different colonies of the stingless bee Melipona marginata. We used gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (CG-MS) ...
Colony membership is reflected by variations in cuticular hydrocarbon profile in a Neotropical paper wasp, Polistes satan (Hymenoptera, Vespidae)

Acceptance Threshold Hypothesis is Supported by Chemical Similarity of Cuticular Hydrocarbons in a Stingless Bee, Melipona asilvai
(SPRINGERDORDRECHT, 2012)
The ability to discriminate nestmates from non-nestmates in insect societies is essential to protect colonies from conspecific invaders. The acceptance threshold hypothesis predicts that organisms whose recognition systems ...
