Correlated evolution of colony defence and social structure: A comparative analysis in eusocial wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
Animal societies depend on effective defence of group resources. Defensive mechanisms can be costly and may constrain the evolution of social structure. We analysed how exocrine mechanisms of colony defence were affected by the evolution of social complexity and of nest architecture in paper wasps (Vespidae). Eusocial paper wasp species exhibit two discrete grades of eusociality, with new colon...
متن کاملReproductive caste determination in eusocial wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae).
Wasps (Vespidae) exhibit a range of social complexity, from solitary living to eusocial colonies, and thus are exemplary for studies of the evolutionary origin and maintenance of social behavior in animals. Integral to the definition of eusociality is the presence of reproductive castes, group members that differ qualitatively in their ability to reproduce in a social setting. Behavioral and mo...
متن کاملDiversity of social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in Cerrado fragments of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais State, Brazil.
Studies of species survey are important to know the available natural resources and to get useful information about the ecological characteristics of a specific area. There are not studies, on this issue, related to social wasps, in the Triângulo Mineiro region. The present study describes the diversity of species found in fragments of the cerrado region in Uberlândia, MG, and their temporal di...
متن کاملSocial Wasps (hymenoptera: Vespidae) Nesting in Eucalyptus Plantations in Minas Gerais, Brazil
Social wasp colonies can be transferred to agroecosystems in order to control pest populations. Some failures of such transfers are common because wasps may abandon the nest immediately after the colony’s transfer. Knowing the nesting habits of wasps in agroecosystems could improve the success of colony transfer during wasp management. Thus, we recorded social wasp nests in a eucalyptus plantat...
متن کاملMorphology and ultrastructure of the Dufour gland in workers of social wasps (Hymenoptera, Vespidae).
The Dufour gland in workers of vespine wasps appears as an unpaired tubiform gland that opens in close proximity to the sting base. The epithelial cells that line the central reservoir are characterized by apical microvillus-like projections and deep basal invaginations. Their cytoplasm contains a well-developed Golgi apparatus, numerous mitochondria, as well as strands of smooth endoplasmic re...
