Extracting the Behaviorally Relevant Stimulus: Unique Neural Representation of Farnesol, a Component of the Recruitment Pheromone of Bombus terrestris
To trigger innate behavior, sensory neural networks are pre-tuned to extract biologically relevant stimuli. Many male-female or insect-plant interactions depend on this phenomenon. Especially communication among individuals within social groups depends on innate behaviors. One example is the efficient recruitment of nest mates by successful bumblebee foragers. Returning foragers release a recru...
متن کاملA conserved class of queen pheromones? Re-evaluating the evidence in bumblebees (Bombus impatiens).
The regulation of reproductive division of labour is a key component in the evolution of social insects. Chemical signals are important mechanisms to regulate worker reproduction, either as queen-produced pheromones that coercively inhibit worker reproduction or as queen signals that honestly advertise her fecundity. A recent study suggested that a conserved class of hydrocarbons serve as queen...
متن کاملRepellent scent-marking of ̄owers by a guild of foraging bumblebees (Bombus spp.)
We have found that foraging bumblebees (Bombus hortorum, B. pascuorum, B. pratorum and B. terrestris) not only avoid ̄owers of Symphytum ocinale that have recently been visited by conspeci®cs but also those that have been recently visited by heterospeci®cs. We propose that the decision whether to reject or accept a ̄ower is in ̄uenced by a chemical odour that is left on the corolla by a forager...
متن کاملSeasonal activity of Bombus terrestris L. in east Mediterranean region, Turkey.
Bumblebees have economical importance in most of wild and cultivated plants. They can be abundant in suitable habitats and have a broad flower choice. Bombus terrestris was collected at intervals during 2002 and 2003 from various flora and ecosystems of east Mediterranean region of Turkey. In this study, plants visited by Bombus terrestris, seasonal activities, distribution and altitudes were d...
متن کاملQueen pheromones modulate DNA methyltransferase activity in bee and ant workers.
DNA methylation is emerging as an important regulator of polyphenism in the social insects. Research has concentrated on differences in methylation between queens and workers, though we hypothesized that methylation is involved in mediating other flexible phenotypes, including pheromone-dependent changes in worker behaviour and physiology. Here, we find that exposure to queen pheromone affects ...
