    Notes: Summary: Floral oils are an important component of the honey bee's olfactory environment. We use laboratory and field tests to determine whether floral oils affect nestmate recognition in honey bees. In the laboratory, newly emerged worker bees, that have not been exposed to comb wax, responded more aggressively to bees that had been exposed to floral oils than unexposed control bees. In the field, guard bees did not respond differently to foragers that had been exposed to floral oils. Floral oils may play a supplementary role in nestmate recognition; however, if they have any effect it is secondary to cues acquired from comb way during development.

    Description / Table of Contents: Resume On a recherché les effets de trois variables—isolement social, hormone juvénile et protéines alimentaires—sur le volume des corps allates des ouvrières de l'abeille domestique. Une régression négative a été trouvée entre le traitement par l'hormone juvénile et le volume des CA. L'isolement social, ainsi que les protéines alimentaires dans certains contextes sociaux, ont un effet positif significatif sur le volume des CA. Les effets de ces variables sur le comportement ont été mesurés en isolant une ouvrière avec une reine et en enregistrant les éventuelles interactions agressives. Dans tous les cas, il existe une relation positive entre le volume des CA et l'agressivité. Donc, le traitement par l'hormone juvénile a un effet négatif sur l'agressivité aussi bien que sur le volume des CA. L'isolement social et l'augmentation des protéines alimentaires ont tous deux des effets positifs sur l'agressivité et le volume des CA.
    Notes: Summary The effects of three variables—social isolation, juvenile hormone treatment, and dietary protein—on the volume of the corpora allata in worker honeybees were tested. A significant negative regression was found between juvenile hormone treatment and CA volume. Social isolation has a significant positive effect on CA volume, as does dietary protein in some social contexts. The behavioral effects of these treatment variables were measured by pairing an individual worker with a queen and recording aggressive interactions, if they occurred. In all cases a positive relationship exists between CA volume and aggressiveness. Thus JH treatment has a negative effect on aggressiveness as well as on CA volume. Social isolation and increasing dietary protein both have positive effects on aggressiveness and CA volume.

    Description / Table of Contents: Resume Les fourragères deParaponera clavata emploient une phéromone de piste et l'activation dans le nid pour obtenir un recrutement de masse vers des sources de nectar artificielles. Les fourragères allant et revenant au nid suivent normalement la même direction. L'existence d'une phéromone de piste découle d'une série d'expériences dans lesquelles différentes techniques furent employées afin de rompre les principales routes de fourragement. Des individus attirés vers des sources de nectar artificielles furent observés tirant leur abdomen d'une manière particulière en retournantà la piste principale. Le retour de l'individu du site de l'appât provoqua un grand accroissement de l'activité de fouraagement de la colonie. Un maximum de 352 individus fut recruté dans l'heure suivant la présentation de l'appât. Des individus recrutés furent capables de trouver le site de l'appât en l'absence de la fourragère initiale en suivant la direction prise par cette dernière. Même dans des conditions normales, sans appât, les fourmis quittent les colonies dans une séquence temporelle qui suggère une facilitation sociale.
    Notes: Summary Paraponera clavata foragers employ a trail pheromone and activation within the nest to obtain mass recruitment to simulated nectar sources. Foragers leaving and returning to the nest normally follow the same path. The existence of a trail pheromone was inferred from a series of experiments in which different techniques were employed to disrupt main foraging routes. Individuals baited to simulated nectar sources were observed to drag their gasters in a distinctive fashion when returning to the main trail. The return of an individual from a bait site resulted in greatly increased foraging activity from the colony. A maximum of 352 individuals were recruited within an hour following presentation of the bait. Recruited individuals were able to find the bait site in the absence of the initial forager by following the path taken by the initial forager. Even under normal, unbaited, conditions ants leave colonies in a temporal sequence that suggests social facilitation.

Agonistische Verhaltenskomponenten wurden mit Hilfe von vier Kriterien analysiert: Kennzeichen agonistischer Akte, Intensität, Häufigkeit und Transinformation. Diagramme wurden konstruiert, um die häufigsten Sequenzn agonistischer Akte zu illustrieren und um die Typen des artspezifischen Sozialverhaltens zu vergleichen.
    Notes: Summary Five species of cockroaches were analyzed with respect to their agonistic behavior. Agonistic acts were analyzed using four criteria: characteristics of agonistic acts, intensity, frequency and information transferred. Diagrams were constructed to illustrate the most common sequences of agonistic acts and to compare the types of behavior which characterize the social behavior of different species.

    Individually discriminable recruitment trails in a ponerine ant (1987)

    Description / Table of Contents: Resume Des phéromons de pistes sont associées aurecrutement des congénéres vers la nourriture chez les fourmis. Après la découvderte d'une source de nourriture liquide, telle que le nectar, des ouvrières deParaponera clavata laissent une piste depuis le site alimentaire vers la colonie. Si une ouvrière dépose uine piste jusqu'à l'entrée de la colonie mais n'y entre pas, sa piste n'est pas suivie par les autres ouvrières. Lorsque deux ouvrières sont induites simultanément à déposer une piste jusqu'à l'entrée de la colonie et que seulement l'une d'elles est admise à y entrer, les fourmis recrutées suivent uniquement la piste de celle qui est entrée dans le nid. Ceci indique que es pistes individuelles peuvent être distinguées par les ouvrières recrutées.
    Notes: Summary Pheromone trails are associated with the recruitment of nestmates to food i ants. After discovery of a liquid food source, such as nectar,Paraponera clavata workers lay trail from the resource site to the colony. If a worker lays trail to the dolony entrance but does not enter the colony, her trail is not followed by other ants. When two workers are induced simultaneously to lay trail to the colony entrance and only of the workers is allowed to enter the colony, recruited ants follow only the trail of the ant that enteced the colony. This indicates that individual trails can be distinguished by recruited workers.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract: Our findings give new insight into the relationship between nestmate recognition and cleptobiosis, intraspecific thievery of newly collected food items, in a neotropical ponerine ant, Ectatomma ruidum. The expression of discrimination of nestmates from non-nestmates varied among local aggregations of E. ruidum in a population at Barro Colorado Island, Panama. This result is due to differences in the behavior of the guard ants among aggregations, rather than differences in the expression of recognition cues by ants. Baiting experiments show that E. ruidum colonies in Panama have a greater tendency to have overlapping home ranges than a similar population in Costa Rica. The pattern of cleptobiosis, however, is strikingly similar between the Panamanian and Costa Rican populations.

    Honeybee nestmate recognition: Effects of queen fecal pheromones (1992)

    Notes: Abstract Previous work has shown that queen honeybees,Apis mellifera, produce waxy esters composed of 8–14 carbon acids and 6–14 carbon alcohols in their feces. We tested these esters for effects on nestmate recognition; 11 of the 12 esters tested significantly modified the recognition characteristics of worker honeybees. Pairwise tests showed that workers can discriminate between at least some pairs of queen esters and that workers can discriminate between a queen ester and hexadecane (another known nestmate recognition cue). These results suggest that a queen may use the esters to enable workers to recognize her or to scent-mark her colony.
