Rattus norvegicus (Rodentia: Muridae) Infected by Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum (syn. Le. chagasi) in Brazil
In the present study we surveyed the fauna of phlebotomine sand flies and small mammals in peridomestic areas from a Brazilian municipality where the American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is endemic. A total of 608 female phlebotomine sand flies were captured during nine months in 2009 and 2010. Seven different species were represented with 60% of them being Lutzomyia intermedia and Lu. whitma...
متن کاملHymenoptera: Vespidae)
Workers in many insect societies interact via body contact with their nest mates, and social biting and other forms of contact may play a general role in regulating task performance. Here I present evidence that social biting affects task performance without direct reproductive conflict in Polybia occidentalis, a swarm-founding eusocial wasp. Polybia occidentalis workers engaged in social bitin...
متن کاملAn adaptive view of caste differentiation in the neotropical wasp Polybia (Trichothorax) sericea Olivier (Hymenoptera: Vespidae).
The tribe Epiponini comprehends the swarm-founding Neotropical wasps, with several species endemic to Brazil, which are extremely important in studies of social evolution of wasps. The Epiponini diverge in several ways from the definitions of high eusociality, since caste syndromes range from species without morphological caste differentiation to those with complete caste dimorphism, and all sp...
متن کاملGeographic Variation in Cranial Features of the Polynesian Rat Rattus Exulans (peale, 1848) (mammalia: Rodentia: Muridae)
– Geographic variation in skulls of the Polynesian rat, Rattus exulans (Peale, 1848) (Mammalia: Rodentia: Muridae) was examined based on 18 morphometric characters of 374 specimens collected from the Southeast and East Asia including the continent north of the Isthmus of Kra, the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatera, Jawa, Philippines, Sulawesi, Flores, Maluku, Taiwan, Ryukyus, New Guinea, and the...
متن کاملCastes and asynchronous colony cycle in Polybia bistriata (Fabricius) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae).
Neotropical swarm-founding wasps, the Epiponini, are an outstanding group of social insects whose societies are polygynic and complex nest builders. Caste dimorphism in these wasps ranges from incipient to highly distinct. Morphometric analyses of nine body parts, ovarian status, relative age and development of the 5th gastral sternite gland (Richards' gland) of Polybia bistriata Fabricius were...
