Leaf-cutting ants manage their waste continuously to avoid risks of colony contamination. The presence of residues or their odor near foraging areas is enough for ants to stop attacking plant tissues. However, to date, no study has demonstrated an interspecific effect of nest waste on the deterrence of leaf-cutting ants. Here, we tested whether a hydroalcoholic extract of nest refuse (NR) of the leaf-cutting ants Acromyrmex balzani Emery, 1890 and Atta opaciceps Borgmeier (Hymenoptera: Formicidae, Attini) causes an interspecific deterrent effect. Field colonies of Ac. balzani (n = 30) and A. opaciceps (n = 36) were used. For each colony, we offered baits made with plastic straws covered by citrus pulp and sprayed with a hydroalcoholic solution of 20% (vol/vol) alcohol/water (Control) or an extract of 20% (vol/vol) of NR from Ac. balzani and/or A. opaciceps. Over 20-30 minutes we recorded the amount of baits removed and data were compared through survival analysis and Linear Mixed Effect (LME) model. Ants avoided collecting baits sprayed with NR resulting in less than 20% of these baits being carried to the nest versus 80% of control baits. The deterrence was both intra and interspecific, considering that the response was similar for baits from both species. Such results reinforce the premise that the presence of nest refuse alters the foraging behavior of ants and paves the way for new studies that can verify its effectiveness in reducing foliar consumption on a larger spatial scale.
切叶蚁不断处理它们的废物,以避免群体污染的风险。蚂蚁在觅食区域附近的残留物或气味足以阻止它们攻击植物组织。然而,到目前为止,还没有研究表明巢废物对切叶蚁的威慑有种间效应。本研究测试了切叶蚁(Acromyrmex balzani Emery, 1890)和切叶蚁(Atta opaciceps Borgmeier,膜翅目:蚁科,Attini)的巢渣(NR)的水醇提取物是否具有种间威慑作用。采用野外菌落balzani (n = 30)和A. opaciceps (n = 36)。对于每个菌落,我们提供了用覆盖柑橘果肉的塑料吸管制成的诱饵,并喷洒了20% (vol/vol)酒精/水的水酒精溶液(对照)或20% (vol/vol)来自Ac. balzani和/或a . opaciceps的NR提取物。在20-30分钟内,我们记录了去除诱饵的数量,并通过生存分析和线性混合效应(LME)模型对数据进行比较。蚂蚁避免收集喷洒NR的诱饵,结果只有不到20%的诱饵被带到巢中,而对照诱饵的比例为80%。考虑到对两种鱼饵的反应相似,威慑作用既存在于种内,也存在于种间。这些结果强化了巢垃圾的存在改变蚂蚁觅食行为的前提,并为新的研究铺平了道路,这些研究可以在更大的空间尺度上验证其在减少叶片消耗方面的有效性。

The gut microbiota of vertebrates and invertebrates has become the focus of recent research. However, current sterilizing practices need more systematic quantitative methods due to limitations caused by their minute body size. Thus, an effective sterilization process incorporating organic and inorganic methods to obtain invertebrate microbiota, particularly when evaluating smaller insects, has yet to be elucidated. This study investigated if the whole abdomen should be utilized as the material to sterilize and examined whether physical and chemical surface sterilization methods could be combined to facilitate the acquisition of gut microbiota from theimported red fire ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren, 1972). Eight methods were designed by incorporating three chemical reagents (sterile water, 2.0 mg/L NaClO, and 75% ethanol) and one physical treatment (250 nm UV). The length range of the amplified fragment in the red imported fire ant is 401-450 bp. According to the results of the GLM regression model and interaction effect model, none of these factors (sterile water, 2.0 mg/L NaClO, and 75% ethanol, 250 nm UV) were significant for statistical regression of the Chao index, and these factors did not significantly interact with each other. Based on Alpha and Beta diversity analysis, none of the methods significantly affected the diversity of insects’ gut microbiome. Finally, we suggested that it is feasible for different species of small insects to select appropriate methods according to the current situation. Still, it is best to achieve unity in the same group.
脊椎动物和无脊椎动物的肠道微生物群已成为近年来研究的热点。然而,目前的灭菌实践需要更系统的定量方法,由于其微小的身体尺寸造成的限制。因此,结合有机和无机方法来获得无脊椎微生物群的有效灭菌过程,特别是在评估较小的昆虫时,尚未得到阐明。本研究探讨了是否应将整个腹部作为灭菌材料,并研究了物理和化学表面灭菌方法是否可以结合起来,以促进从进口红火蚁身上获取肠道微生物群(Solenopsis invicta Buren, 1972)。采用3种化学试剂(无菌水、2.0 mg/L NaClO和75%乙醇)和1种物理处理(250 nm UV)设计8种方法。该扩增片段的长度范围为401 ~ 450 bp。根据GLM回归模型和交互效应模型的结果,无菌水、2.0 mg/L NaClO和75%乙醇、250 nm UV对Chao指数的统计回归均不显著,且这些因素之间的交互作用不显著。基于Alpha和Beta多样性分析,没有一种方法显著影响昆虫肠道微生物组的多样性。最后,我们建议不同种类的小昆虫根据现状选择合适的方法是可行的。不过,最好还是在同一群体中实现团结。

Genetic Diversity in Pioneer Ants: The Cardiocondyla shuckardi Group 先锋蚂蚁的遗传多样性:心髁蚁群

The myrmicine ant genus Cardiocondyla consists of around 80 species of small, inconspicuous ants, which live mainly in subtropical and tropical Africa, Eurasia, and Australia. Several species have been accidentally introduced to America and have also invaded numerous originally ant-free islands around the world. The diversity of life histories in this genus, with lethally fighting wingless males, dominance hierarchies among queens, and considerable variation in the sociogenetic organization of colonies across species, has made it an interesting model to investigate the evolution and behavioral ecology of reproductive strategies. Taxa of the African Cardiocondyla shuckardi group are of particular interest, as in a phylogeny they lie between facultatively polygynous species with fatal male competition and monogynous species with mutually tolerant males. Studies on male behavior and sociogenetics in C. “venustula,” a widespread member of the C. shuckardi group, showed that males defend small territories inside their subterraneous nests. At the same time, they revealed a surprisingly large variability in mtDNA haplotypes both within and between populations in South Africa, Angola, and Côte d’Ivoire. As the different lineages are very similar in morphology and nuclear markers, more research is needed to clarify the very confused taxonomic situation in this fascinating group of ants.
金蚁属(Cardiocondyla)由大约80种不显眼的小蚂蚁组成,主要生活在亚热带和热带非洲、欧亚大陆和澳大利亚。一些物种被意外地引入美洲,并入侵了世界上许多原本没有蚂蚁的岛屿。这个属的生命史的多样性,有致命的无翅雄性,女王之间的统治等级,以及种群间社会遗传组织的相当大的差异,使其成为研究生殖策略进化和行为生态学的一个有趣的模型。非洲心髁蝗群的分类群特别令人感兴趣,因为在系统发育中,它们位于具有致命雄性竞争的兼性一夫多妻物种和具有相互容忍雄性的一夫一妻物种之间。对C.“venustula”(一种分布广泛的C. shuckardi群体成员)的雄性行为和社会遗传学的研究表明,雄性在它们的地下巢穴中保卫小块领土。与此同时,他们揭示了南非、安哥拉和Côte科特迪瓦人群内部和人群之间mtDNA单倍型的惊人差异。由于不同的谱系在形态和核标记上非常相似,需要更多的研究来澄清这一令人着迷的蚂蚁群体中非常混乱的分类情况。

To illustrate the essential role of Apis cerana Fabricius in plant pollination, a survey was conducted using PCR, DNA barcoding, and high-throughput sequencing technologies to assess the diversity of plants foraged by A. cerana at five sites around Qinling Mountains. A fragment of the rbcL gene in pollen isolated from honey collected at each site was amplified and sequenced. The results show that samples BJ and TC, samples FP and AK have a high correlation, respectively. According to the information of a total of 64 plant species identified in the five sites, belonging to 53 genera, 37 families, and 23 orders, it is found that there is a relatively high diversity and complex composition of nectar and pollen plants and that most of the plants are sporadically available. The identified species show higher occurrence in some orders, such as Sapindales, Rosales, etc. There are significantly more plants of temperate origin than those of tropical origin, 58.5% and 34.0%, respectively. Some species of Rosales or Sapindales are more visited by A. cerana, with Toxicodendron vernicifluum (Stokes) being the dominant species. These results provide a basis for assessing the role of A. cerana in plant pollination and maintaining biodiversity.
为了阐明蜜蜂在植物传粉中的重要作用,利用PCR、DNA条形码和高通量测序技术,对秦岭地区5个地点的蜜蜂采食植物多样性进行了研究。从每个地点采集的蜂蜜花粉中分离rbcL基因片段进行扩增和测序。结果表明,样品BJ与TC、样品FP与AK具有较高的相关性。根据5个站点共鉴定64种植物,隶属于23目37科53属,发现花蜜和花粉植物多样性较高,组成复杂,多数为零星分布。所鉴定的种类在一些目中有较高的发生率,如Sapindales、Rosales等。温带植物明显多于热带植物,分别为58.5%和34.0%。一些种类的蔷薇或Sapindales被A. cerana较多的访问,以毒竹(Toxicodendron vernicifluum (Stokes))为优势种。这些结果为评价蜜蜂在植物传粉和维持生物多样性中的作用提供了依据。

Cuticular hydrocarbons of some Dolichoderinae species from France and various places like Spain, North Africa, and Italy were studied. The Tapinoma nigerrimum group was particularly analyzed and replaced in the genus Tapinoma. All species were correctly discriminated and a new hydrocarbons profile was found in Spanish mountains in the T. nigerrimum group, which was provisionally named T. sp. Spain. We added numerous unknown spots for the distribution of these ants. We also tested aggression between some T. magnum colonies and it appeared that this species forms supercolonies like other invasive species, but does not form giant supercolonies like the Argentine ant

Hey, hold on, we are good guys! Colony defense behavior and notes on nesting of Parachartergus fulgidipennis (de Saussure, 1854) (Vespidae: Polistinae: Epiponini) 等等,我们是好人!fulgidipennis (de Saussure, 1854)的群体防御行为及筑巢笔记(斑翅目:Polistinae: Epiponini)

Parachartergus wasps are known by having a very aggressive behavior, especially the large black species with white wings tip, which have painful stings. They exhibit a unique and interesting characteristic, the capacity to venom spraying during the colony defense or self-defense. However, for the Amazonian species Parachartergus fulgidipennis (de Saussure, 1854), little is known about its behavior and nesting. In this way, we tracked and described the nesting site, the numbers of combs, and performed an ad libitum method to record behavioral activities. The nest was fixed vertically on a man-made concrete column, 1.2 m above the ground, measuring 25.0 x 6.0 cm and contained four combs with approximately 74 cells, with 31 eggs, seven larvae, 30 pupae, and almost 42 adults. With a flat thin grayish envelope with weak corrugations, the nest is very similar to the color of the substrate which turn in to really cryptic. The colony defense behavior presented by this species is unaggressive and very docile, suggesting that is not similar as observed for other Parachartergus species.
副脉蜂以其非常具有攻击性的行为而闻名,尤其是那些有着白色翅膀尖的大型黑色物种,它们的翅膀上有痛苦的刺。它们表现出一种独特而有趣的特征,即在群体防御或自卫时喷射毒液的能力。然而,对于亚马逊地区的物种——翼龙(parartergus fulgidipennis, de Saussure, 1854),人们对其行为和筑巢知之甚少。通过这种方法,我们对筑巢地点、梳子数量进行了跟踪和描述,并对行为活动进行了随意记录。巢垂直固定在人造混凝土柱上,距地面1.2米,尺寸为25.0 x 6.0厘米,包含4个蜂巢,约74个细胞,31个卵,7个幼虫,30个蛹和近42个成虫。有一个扁平的薄灰色的信封,带有弱波纹,巢的颜色非常类似于基材的颜色,这就变成了真正的神秘。该物种的群体防御行为是非侵略性的,非常温顺,这表明它与其他副动脉蜥不同。

Colony multiplication of stingless bees, Tetragonula iridipennis, largely relies on the eduction of wild colonies from their natural nesting sites in India. During the hiving of wild colonies, colonies were destroyed with the loss of robust wild foragers and built-in storage reserves over the years. The present study was conducted to devise a technique to sustainably multiply the colonies of stingless bees from the wild colony and the colony establishment and development during the eduction process. The annexure hives provided for eduction were accepted in a shorter time (3.25 ± 1.18 days), with the construction of storage pots observed at 7.75 ± 1.59 days after hive acceptance by the bees. The movement of foragers between the wild colony and the annexure hives was noticed for 13.80 ± 4.20 days. The foragers settled in the annexure hives and started foraging after 18.20 ± 2.49 days. The advancing fronts were observed at 26.67 ± 2.58 days after the addition of the laying queen in the established annexure hives. There was a significant increase in the number of inhive workers after the queen seeding in the annexure hives. This technique is the easiest and most sustainable non-destructive way of multiplication of stingless bee colonies without loss in viability of the perennial wild colony.
无刺蜜蜂的群体繁殖在很大程度上依赖于野生蜂群从它们在印度的自然筑巢地迁移出来。在野生蜂群的筑巢过程中,随着多年来强壮的野生觅食者和内置储存储备的丧失,蜂群被摧毁了。本研究旨在设计一种野生无刺蜂群体可持续繁殖的技术,并在繁殖过程中建立和发展无刺蜂群体。在较短的时间内(3.25±1.18 d)接受了提供教育的附属蜂箱,在蜂箱接受后(7.75±1.59 d)观察到储罐的建造。采集蜂群在野外蜂群和附设蜂箱之间移动的时间为13.80±4.20 d。采集者于18.20±2.49 d后进入附属蜂箱,开始采食。在已建立的附属蜂房中加入产蛋蜂王后的26.67±2.58天观察到前进的锋面。蜂王在附属蜂箱中播种后,抑制工蜂的数量显著增加。该技术是最简单和最可持续的非破坏性繁殖无刺蜂群的方式,而不会损失多年生野生蜂群的生存能力。

This study investigated the morphometric variation in Melipona scutellaris stingless bees rational hive boxes from five states, inserted into the natural range of the species occurrence in northeastern Brazil.  The cluster analysis (UPGMA) showed three distinct groups by determining the cutoff point. The multivariate analysis were performed using MANOVA and Canonical Variables for the shape analysis. The One-Way ANOVA was used to assess differences in centroid size. The results showed population divergence between localities limited by geographical barriers or great distances, corroborating previous observations by the UPGMA. Variation between colonies inter-state was higher that intra-state and, in most cases, Geometric Morphometrics was effective in identifying the origin of colonies transported to other states, observed in the cross-validation analysis that showed more than 70% of classification accuracy. Geometric Morphometrics could be used to evaluate the introduction of colonies within the kindred meliponary.  Natural populations of Melipona scutellaris show a significant variation, which brings important implications to meliponiculture and to conservation strategies for this endangered species.

Since some social wasp species are sensitive to environmental changes and can be used as bioindicators, the objective of the present study was to analyze the variation in the fauna of social wasps during the phases: before, during, and after completion, as well as to validate the use of wasps as a tool for monitoring the impacts generated by the implantation of the Botanical Garden of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. Social wasps were sampled through active searching methods, searching for nests and attractive traps in the years 2011 and 2012 (before the construction), 2013, 2014, and 2016 (during the construction), and 2019 (after the construction and opening of the Botanical Garden). The richness and similarity of the species varied over the years, and it was possible to identify resistant and sensitive species to the impact caused by the implantation of the Botanical Garden. Studies with social wasp fauna conducted over many years in the same area can be an efficient tool in monitoring impacts; in addition, it is necessary to have a partnership between researchers and the management of the enterprises to mitigate the effects caused by guidelines and environmental education.
由于一些社会黄蜂物种对环境变化很敏感,可以用作生物指标,本研究的目的是分析社会黄蜂在以下阶段的动物群变化:完成之前、期间和之后,以及验证黄蜂作为监测尤兹-德福拉联邦大学植物园种植所产生影响的工具的使用。在2011年和2012年(建设前)、2013年、2014年和2016年(建设期间)以及2019年(植物园建设开放后),通过主动搜索方法对社会黄蜂进行了采样,寻找巢穴和有吸引力的陷阱。这些物种的丰富度和相似性随着时间的推移而变化,可以确定对植物园种植造成的影响具有抗性和敏感性的物种。多年来在同一地区对社会黄蜂动物群进行的研究可以成为监测影响的有效工具;此外,有必要在研究人员和企业管理层之间建立伙伴关系,以减轻指导方针和环境教育造成的影响。
