Honey bees collectively raise young, or brood, through a series of complex behaviors that appear to accelerate and synchronize the timing of brood maturation. These include maintaining the brood nest at warmer and consistent temperatures (33–36 °C) and the exceptional activity of heater bees. Heater bees are a part of the larger group of nurse bees that care for brood by rapidly contracting thoracic muscles to generate high body temperatures, from 42 to 47 °C. Heater bees move among brood cells and display this behavior to regulate the temperatures of individual larvae and pupae. We constructed three sets of experimental hives to explore the energy costs of raising brood in general and the cost of heater bees specifically. One set was designed to estimate the numerical allocation of individuals to the heater bee task. The second set was designed to contain only brood, which eliminated foraging and allowed us to quantify stored honey use when rearing juveniles at 10 and 30 °C. The final set was used to measure the respiration rates and energy expenditure of individual bees displaying resting, walking, heating, and agitated behavior. By integrating honey used by brood-only experimental colonies with whole-colony measurements of honey storage in the literature, we estimated that raising brood costs colonies half of their annual energy budgets stored as honey, or approximately 43.7 ± 0.9 kg·yr<sup>−1</sup>. We estimated that roughly 2 % of individuals in a colony perform as heater bees. Respiration rates of heater bees (19 mW) were more than those of resting bees (8 mW) but similar to those of walking bees (20 mW) and about half of those that were agitated (46 mW). The energetic cost of heating was more than an order of magnitude lower than the reported values for the energetic cost of flying. By integrating data from our three experimental hives, we estimate that the annual cost of raising brood is relatively high. However, heater bee behavior and physiology may require only about 7 % of the annual honey stored by a colony.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insect physiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139375246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This change was accompanied by a 320 mosmol/kg increase in hemolymph osmolality, which is a doubling compared to the summer levels. We used NMR metabolomics to identify and measure the absolute concentrations of the responsible cryoprotective C-H containing metabolites in the hemolymph. The largest increase was found to be in either glucose or trehalose, with an average total increase of 120 mM. Proline, alanine, and choline concentrations were found to increase by around 10 mM each. Contrarily, phosphocholine and phosphoethanolamine were halved, resulting in a total decrease of around 50 mM. These measurements were complemented with ion exchange chromatography measurements. This allowed us to account for all the osmotic pressure in the summer hemolymph, and the measured concentration changes explained as much as 40 % of the observed osmolality increase upon cold hardening.

First, our examination of gut microbial profiling showed that <em>Bombella apis</em>, a larvae-associated bacterium, was the most dominant bacterium colonized in the fifth instar larvae. Second, we demonstrated that tetracycline, an antibiotic used to treat a honeybee bacterial brood disease, could cause the complete depletion of gut bacteria. This antibiotic-induced gut microbiome depletion in turn, significantly impacted the survivorship, pupation rate and emergence rate of the treated larvae. Furthermore, our analysis of gene expression pattens revealed noteworthy changes in key genes. The expression of genes responsible for encoding storage proteins <em>vitellogenin</em> (<em>vg</em>) and <em>major royal jelly protein 1</em> (<em>mrjp1</em>) was significantly down-regulated in the tetracycline-treated larvae. Concurrently, the expression of <em>krüppel homolog 1</em>(<em>kr-h1</em>), a pivotal gene in endocrine signaling, increased, whilethe expression of <em>broad-complex</em> (<em>br-c</em>) gene that plays a key role in the ecdysone regulation decreased.

Such a thermal strategy would imply the existence of a metabolism that can operate at different temperatures without the need to increase body temperature when experiencing cold environmental conditions. This “hotter-is-not-better“ thermal strategy is considered ancestral and conjectured to be linked to the origin and evolution of endothermy. In this study, we examined the thermal performance of a large-bodied dung beetle species (<em>Chelotrupes momus</em>) capable of being active during the winter nights in the Iberian Mediterranean region. Field and laboratory results were obtained using thermocamera records, thermocouples, data loggers and spectrometers that measured ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared wavelengths. The thermal data clearly indicated that this species can remain active at a body temperature of approximately 6 °C without the need to warm its body above ambient temperature. Comparing the spectrophotometric data of the species under study with that from other previously examined dung beetle species indicated that the exoskeleton of this particular species likely enhances the absorption of infrared radiation, thereby implying a dual role of the exoskeleton in both heat acquisition and heat dissipation. Taken together, these results suggest that this species has morphological and metabolic adaptations that enable life processes at temperatures that are typically unsuitable for most insect species in the region.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insect physiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022191023001282/pdfft?md5=e7216aadd7b1df6f97952efc183afdda&pid=1-s2.0-S0022191023001282-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138991837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an odor-driven species, its intraspecific communication has been thoroughly investigated, yielding a combination of spiroacetals, esters and hydrocarbons. However, its management with pheromone is still restricted to olean, the major pheromone component. Given the crucial role of circadian rhythm and pheromone blends in mediating flies reproductive behavior compared to single compounds, <em>B. oleae</em> headspace chemical profile was carefully examined, through the combination of Proton Transfer Reaction Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (PTR-ToF) and Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS). This novel approach aimed at continuously investigating the temporal scale of volatilome profile of <em>B. oleae</em> individuals, as well as the determination of new candidate sex-borne compounds (particularly those emitted in traces or having low molecular weight), that may be relevant to the fly’s chemical communication and were unreported due to limitations of frequently used analytical techniques. Our results describe the dynamics and diversity of <em>B. oleae</em> chemical profile, highlighting the emission of 90 compounds, with clear diel rhythm of release, of known pheromone components of <em>B. oleae</em> (e.g., olean, alpha-pinene and muscalure) and new candidates. In contrast to ammonia, acetaldehyde and muscalure, which were highly emitted during the afternoon by males and mixed groups, olean was mostly released by mature females and mixed groups, with a peak of emission during early-morning and afternoon. This emission of olean around dawn is reported for the first time, suggesting early-morning mating activity in <em>B. oleae</em>. Furthermore, esters, such as methyl tetradecanoate, which had been earlier identified as a pheromone for <em>B. oleae</em>, did not exhibit any discernible release patterns. These findings are the first to demonstrate the emission of chemicals, which are only produced when males and females are close to one another, with an emission peak during the afternoon (mating period), and that may have aphrodisiac properties for <em>B. oleae</em> males.
