Agelaia MP-I: a peptide isolated from the venom of the social wasp, Agelaia pallipes pallipes, enhances insulin secretion in mice pancreatic islets.
Peptides isolated from animal venoms have shown the ability to regulate pancreatic beta cell function. Characterization of wasp venoms is important, since some components of these venoms present large molecular variability, and potential interactions with different signal transduction pathways. For example, the well studied mastoparan peptides interact with a diversity of cell types and cellula...
متن کاملRobust long-term social memories in a paper wasp
Michael J. Sheehan and Elizabeth A. Tibbetts Supplemental Methods In early spring 2007, emerging P. fuscatus were collected in and around Ann Arbor, Michigan. After emerging from diapause, wasps do not immediately begin nest construction, but rather spend up to a few weeks assessing potential nest sites. During this time, they also engage in aggressive dominance contests with multiple other fou...
متن کاملSexy Faces in a Male Paper Wasp
Sexually selected signals are common in many animals, though little reported in social insects. We investigated the occurrence of male visual signals mediating the dominance relationships among males and female choice of sexual partner in the paper wasp Polistes simillimus. Males have three conspicuous, variable and sexually dimorphic traits: black pigmentation on the head, a pair of yellow abd...
متن کاملA quantitative threshold for nest-mate recognition in a paper social wasp.
Nest-mate recognition is fundamental for protecting social insect colonies from intrusion threats such as predators or social parasites. The aggression of resident females towards intruders is mediated by their cuticular semiochemicals. A positive relation between the amount of cues and responses has been widely assumed and often taken for granted, even though direct tests have not been carried...
متن کاملSocial dominance molds cuticular and egg chemical blends in a paper wasp
Hamilton's theory [1] for the evolution of social behaviour predicts that helpers may renounce direct reproduction to help their more fertile kin. Intra-colony recognition among queens and helpers (subordinate queens or workers) is consequently a central issue in insect sociobiology. In social insects, cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are involved in recognition, and egg-laying and non-egg-laying ...
