Bringing together for the first time prominent researchers in social insect pheromone communication, including nestmate recognition, this book looks at ants, wasps, bees, and termites, highlighting areas of convergence and divergence among these groups, and identifying areas that need further investigation. Presenting broad synthetic overviews as well as species-specific studies, the volume will be useful to natural scientists, ecologists, and those interested in pest management, as well as to anyone interested in the fascinating chemically mediated behavioral interactions of social insects.

Intraspecific communication involves the activation of chemoreceptors and subsequent activation of different central areas that coordinate the responses of the entire organism—ranging from behavioral modification to modulation of hormones release. Animals emit intraspecific chemical signals, often referred to as pheromones, to advertise their presence to members of the same species and to regulate interactions aimed at establishing and regulating social and reproductive bonds. In the last two decades, scientists have developed a greater understanding of the neural processing of these chemical signals. Neurobiology of Chemical Communication explores the role of the chemical senses in mediating intraspecific communication. Providing an up-to-date outline of the most recent advances in the field, it presents data from laboratory and wild species, ranging from invertebrates to vertebrates, from insects to humans. The book examines the structure, anatomy, electrophysiology, and molecular biology of pheromones. It discusses how chemical signals work on different mammalian and non-mammalian species and includes chapters on insects, Drosophila, honey bees, amphibians, mice, tigers, and cattle. It also explores the controversial topic of human pheromones. An essential reference for students and researchers in the field of pheromones, this is also an ideal resource for those working on behavioral phenotyping of animal models and persons interested in the biology/ecology of wild and domestic species.

Species in the stingless bee genus, Lestrimelitta, like L. niitkib, are all obligate cleptoparasites. Rather than foraging for resources, these bees rob the hives of other social bees, native and introduced. Multiple hypotheses have been proposed as to why L. niiitkib and other Lestrimelitta species are so successful at robbing. In all hypotheses, the copious release of mandibular gland pheromone (MGP) during robbing plays a key role. We propose a new hypothesis, that MGP is a toxin that also honestly signals the greater physical fighting ability of L. niitkib. To test this hypothesis we examined the fighting ability and mandible morphology of L. niitkib. We also injected natural and synthetic MGP into victims. In both fighting and injection trials, victims increased their rate of falling, abnormal movement, and time spent motionless. Given that Lestrimelitta can repeatedly raid the same colonies, victims should be able to learn to associate MGP with attacks. We therefore propose that multiple MGP hypotheses can be considered under the umbrella of honest signaling, in which the honestly superior attack ability of L. niitkib is associated with MGP. In addition, we also have conducted preliminary experiments examining whether honey bee mandibular gland secretions (MGS) are an alarm pheromone. We hypothesize that marking predatory targets at the entrance of the hive with MGS should elicit more attention if MGS is indeed an alarm pheromone. We also tested the toxicity of MGS and found weak support for the hypothesis that it is toxic.

Aversive learning in young worker honeybees (Apis mellifera) can be suppressed by pheromone released by the queen bee. In addition, studies have shown that pheromone released by guard bees inhibits appetitive learning in bees recruited for colony defense. In this chapter, we examine the chemical signals that mediate these effects and the mechanisms that support pheromone modulation of learning behavior in the bee. We also consider the possible adaptive value of pheromone modulation of learning in the honeybee and its potential contribution to the survival of the colony as a whole.
