Life History and Social Evolution of the Primitively Eusocial Bee Augochlorella striata (Hymenoptera: Halictidae)
Life history parameters of the primitively eusocial bee Augochlorella striata (Hymenoptera: Halictidae) are summarized for a population in central New York, and analyzed with respect to the evolutionary maintenance of eusociality in this species. High mortality (39%) of solitary foundresses and low mortality (12%) of social colonies indicate severe ecological constraints limiting independent (s...
متن کاملPhylogeny of eusocial Lasioglossum reveals multiple losses of eusociality within a primitively eusocial clade of bees (Hymenoptera: Halictidae).
We performed a phylogenetic analysis of the species, species groups, and subgenera within the predominantly eusocial lineage of Lasioglossum (the Hemihalictus series) based on three protein coding genes: mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I, nuclear elongation factor 1alpha and long-wavelength rhodopsin. The entire data set consisted of 3421 aligned nucleotide sites, 854 of which were parsimony i...
متن کاملHelping effort in primitively eusocial wasps
In primitively eusocial and cooperatively breeding societies, there is substantial individual variation in helping effort that is not accounted for by variation in genetic relatedness. In primitively eusocial wasps, helpers have a significant chance of inheriting breeding positions. Recent models suggest that because helpers with greater expected future fitness have more to lose, they should in...
متن کاملComparative morphology of spermathecae in solitary and primitively eusocial bees (Hymenoptera; Apoidea)
Spermathecae of solitary and primitively eusocial bees from five major families were compared according to their chamber size, epithelial cell height (wall thickness), number and shape of glands, number of sperm pumps, and diameter of the duct, using whole mounts and serial sections. A thick spermathecal wall with a small chamber in our exemplar colletid, megachilid, and andrenid bees, a large ...
متن کاملDominance behaviour and regulation of foraging in the primitively eusocial wasp Ropalidia marginata (Lep.) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae).
Ropalidia marginata is a primitively eusocial, polistine wasp widely distributed in peninsular India. In spite of its primitively eusocial status, queens of R. marginata are surprisingly docile and behaviourally non-dominant (except during the first week or so of their careers as queens). Yet they successfully maintain reproductive monopoly throughout their careers, probably through the use of ...
