Chemical basis of nestmate recognition in a defense context in a one-piece nesting termite
(2016)
Nestmate recognition is a necessary capacity for the occurrence of discrimination between nestmate and non-nestmate individuals. In one-piece nesting termites, which nest and forage in a single piece of wood, nestmate ...
The role of wax and resin in the nestmate recognition system of a stingless bee, Tetragonisca angustula
(SPRINGERNEW YORK, 2012)
Recent research has shown that entrance guards of the stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula make less errors in distinguishing nestmates from non-nestmates than all other bee species studied to date, but how they achieve ...
Nest-mate recognition in Manuelia postica (Apidae : Xylocopinae): an eusocial trait is present in a solitary bee
(ROYAL SOC, 2007-11-01)
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 ...
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 ...
Nestmate recognition in defense against nest invasion by conspecifics during swarming in a one-piece nesting termite
(Soc. Biolgia Chile, 2016)
Background: In one-piece nesting termites, which nest and forage in a single piece of wood, soldier production increases during the swarming period, i.e. when the risk of invasion of their substrate and hence of their ...
Nestmate recognition in a Neotropical swarm-founding wasp: no effect of seasonality on tolerance of alien conspecifics
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2008)
Previous study revealed that the swarm-founding wasp Polybia paulista is accurately able to distinguish nestmates from non-nestmates in the summer. However, the risk of accepting alien intruders is considered to be low in ...
Nestmate recognition in a stingless bee: does the similarity of chemical cues determine guard acceptance?
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
The ability to discriminate nestmates from non-nestmates is critical to the maintenance of the integrity of social insect colonies. Guard workers compare the chemical cues of an incoming individual with their internal ...
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 ...
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 ...
