Queens of the primitively eusocial wasp Ropalidia marginata appear to maintain reproductive monopoly through pheromone rather than through physical aggression. Upon queen removal, one of the workers (potential queen, PQ) becomes extremely aggressive but drops her aggression immediately upon returning the queen. If the queen is not returned, the PQ gradually drops her aggression and becomes the ...

world's history presents only during occasional long periods of widespread prosperity, to Mr. Lytton's eyes her personal influence does not account either for the great events that happened in her time or for the eminence of the chief characters which surrounded her. We see in his biography, what is lacking in the earlier book, a sincere attempt to refrain from belittling his subject, but certa...

The breeding system of social organisms affects many important aspects of social life. Some species vary greatly in the number of breeders per group, but the mechanisms and selective pressures contributing to the maintenance of this polymorphism in social structure remain poorly understood. Here, we take advantage of a genetic dataset that spans 15 years to investigate the dynamics of colony qu...

Honey bee colonies reproduce through swarming, in which about half the workers and the laying queen leave the natal nest and form a cluster in nearby vegetation. After a new nest cavity has been selected, the entire swarm cluster and the queen must become airborne and move en masse to the chosen site. Failure of the queen to leave the natal nest or relocate to the new nest cavity will result in...

Physogastric queens of Melipona marginata were removed from their colonies in order to verify the acceptance of a new queen by workers. Colony strength was evaluated according to queen oviposition rate and comb diameters. Replacement was observed seven times. Its occurrence and speed related positively to colony strength, independently of queen's age. In weak colonies, queen replacement was obs...

We introduce and investigate the concept of Queen labeling a digraph and its connection to the well-known n-queens problem. In the general case we obtain an upper bound on the size of a queen graph and show that it is tight. We also examine the existence of possible forbidden subgraphs for this problem and show that only two such subgraphs exist. Then we focus on specific graph families: First ...
