Small queens in the ant Ectatomma tuberculatum: a new case of social parasitism

Social parasites exploit the worker force of colonies of other social insects to rear their own young. Social parasitism occurs in several Hymenoptera and is particularly common in several tribes of the ant subfamilies Myrmicinae and Formicinae. Here, we document the occurrence of miniaturized queens (microgynes) in colonies of Ectatomma tuberculatum, an ant belonging to the subfamily Ectatomminae. Behavioral observations and genetic analyses show that microgynes concentrate their reproductive efforts almost exclusively on the production of sexual offspring (microgynes and males), whereas the regular, large queens (macrogynes) produce workers in addition to sexuals. According to mitochondrial and nuclear markers, gene flow between microgynes and macrogynes is extremely limited. Whereas the co-occurrence of microgynes and macrogynes in the related species Ectatomma ruidum constitutes an intraspecific polymorphism associated with alternative dispersal tactics, microgynes found in colonies of E. tuberculatum appear to be a distinct species and to represent the first case of social parasitism in the poneromorph subfamilies of ants.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of diene modified analogs of<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Matsucoccus</Emphasis> sex pheromones

The biological activity of the Matsucoccus spp. sex pheromones and diene modified analogs has been tested in forests of Israel and Portugal in order to explore the structure-activity relationship of the pine bast scale pheromone/kairomone system. The response of the adult predatory bugs, Elatophilus hebraicus and E. crassicornis and of the brown lacewing, Hemerobius stigma is more selective than that of the conspecific Matsucoccus males. The removal of the terminal methyl group from the diene terminus of both pheromones 1 and 2 eliminates all kairomonal activity but retains moderate pheromonal activity. Addition of a methyl group to the diene terminus of pheromones 1 and 2 sustains full pheromonal and kairomonal activities of the Elatophilus spp. but eliminates entirely the kairomonal activity of H. stigma. Subtle designed alterations in the structure of the diene group, typical of all Matsucoccus pheromones, change the mode of the kairomonal activity markedly.

政和—大埔断裂带基本特征及其演化模式

政和—大埔断裂带经历多期复杂的构造变形变质作用,不同地段的时空演化特征有所差异,总体上可划分为四个演化阶段。即:①前加里东期(?)—加里东期韧性剪切变形变质作用(D_1),发生于中、下地壳,是顺层剪切(固态流变)的结果,为纯韧性变形,②印支期韧性剪切变形变质作用(D_2)——政和—大埔断裂的形成,以平移型剪切为主,形成S——C糜棱岩,为半韧性变形环境;③印支末期—燕山早期逆冲—推覆作用(D_3),为多层次逆冲推覆,东部所谓的“天窗”部分为这一时期逆冲岩片的残留体,随着早燕山期花岗岩的侵入逐渐过渡到伸展拆离环境,同时西部推覆体后缘出现拉张,形成有限的火山岩盆地,为半脆性—脆性变形环境;④燕山期(—喜山期)伸展—拆离作用(D_4),在相对年轻的拆离断层之下出露变质核杂岩(如稻香组和熊山岩体),并形成裂陷盆地堆积(梨山组),东部部分“天窗”属这类成因,形成环境跨度大,为半韧性→半脆性→脆性。
