Recently it has been shown that one of the main compounds of its pygidial gland, iridomyrmecin, is used as a venom against competitors and enemies. Here, we explore the variability in the quantities of iridomyrmecin of individual workers, along a range of locations pertaining to both its native and invasive ranges, in order to know whether its venom could have contributed to the differential invasion success of European supercolonies. We specifically compared the amount of iridomyrmecin among supercolonies in the native range and among three invasive supercolonies: the Main supercolony (the most extended worldwide), the Corsican and the Catalonian supercolonies (both with a restricted distribution in Europe). Our main result is that the variability of the iridomyrmecin is very high. Looking at mean values, we found that the amount of iridomyrmecin of the Main supercolony was the lowest while the highest corresponded to the Corsican supercolony, with the Catalonian and the native range supercolonies having intermediate values. However, variability in the values within each supercolony was similar between supercolonies. This suggests that the success of a given invasive supercolony may not be explained by higher quantities of this defensive compound. Our results open the way for exploring the connection between defensive compounds and the invasion success of this global invader.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":515,"journal":{"name":"Chemoecology","volume":"33 1-2","pages":"17 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00049-023-00381-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4428660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gonyleptinae is polyphyletic, nestled in the clade K92, and despite its richness, several species of that subfamily have not had their chemicals of the defensive secretions analyzed. Among these are <i>Gonyleptes curticornis</i> (Mello-Leitão, 1940) and <i>G. horridus</i> Kirby, 1819, the latter being particularly important, because it is the type species of the genus, which in turn names the subfamily Gonyleptinae. <i>Gonyleptes horridus</i> is also used in many phylogenetic analyses, be it using morphological or molecular data. The chemical study of the secretions of these two species by GC–MS and <sup>1</sup>H NMR showed the presence of 1-(6-isopropyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-methylbutanone, 1-(6-isopropyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-yl) isobutanone and 4-methyl-1-hepten-3-one in both species. On the other hand, 4-methyl-1-hexen-3-one was observed only in <i>G. curticornis</i>, and 7-methyl-2-octanol is exclusive of <i>G. horridus</i>. All vinyl-ketones identified have already been described for Gonyleptidae. We ran an Ancestral Character State Reconstruction (ASR) analysis under three different conditions to infer the evolution of the identified compounds (based on modified characters of a previous study) and their chemical nature (multistate character, either as alkylphenol, benzoquinone or vinyl-ketone) on a modified Gonyleptidae phylogeny. Our results corroborate previous studies that alkylphenol is the ancestral most condition, changing to benzoquinone in the ancestor of Gonyleptidae or even earlier in a grassatorean ancestor depending on the analysis. Vinyl-ketones are a synapomorphy of K92. We briefly discuss character codifications and use of weights of ASR analyses of specific compounds, which were inconclusive. 1-(6-isopropyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-yl) isobutanone is shared by both <i>Gonyleptes</i> species and described for the genus <i>Sodreana</i> Mello-Leitão, 1922. 1-(6-(1-methyl-propyl)3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2yl)2-methylbutanone and 4-methyl-1-hepten-3-one are also shared by both <i>Gonyleptes</i> species and described for <i>Moreiranula saprophila</i>. From a taxonomic standpoint, combinations of specific compounds might help to diagnose supraspecific groups but given our limited sample, such decision should be taken with care and further tested. Finally, 7-methyl-2-octanol is described for the first time in Gonyleptidae, emphasizing the chemical diverse nature in the K92 clade.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":515,"journal":{"name":"Chemoecology","volume":"33 1-2","pages":"1 - 15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4568103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is a high risk that the pest insect will spread to areas where it is currently not considered present, such as the European Union. In these areas, it threatens to attack conifer forests of various species which may result in major environmental and economic impact. The aim of this study was to identify pheromone components of <i>P. proximus</i> that can be used as pheromone baits. Males and females of <i>P. proximus</i> were allowed to bore into the bark of stem sections of <i>Abies sibirica</i> at the laboratory, and volatiles were collected with solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Analyses of these extracts with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) revealed several sex-specific compounds.

Living in and around ant nests of these organisms must overcome ant colony defenses. As ant defensive behavior is mainly mediated by species-specific cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) or alarm pheromones, and ant-associated parasites can either crack their hosts’ chemical communication code by modifying their own CHC profiles or use pro-active strategies like chemical weaponry for distraction and repellency. While the chemical nature of ant–parasite interactions has been intensively studied for highly host-specific parasites, the chemical-deceptive strategies of the rather rare ant-resembling heteropterans are unknown. To gain insight into this system, I studied the bug <i>Scolopostethus pacificus</i> (Barber 1918) which can be found near the nests of the ecologically dominant and aggressive velvety tree ant (<i>Liometopum occidentale</i>, Emery 1895). Using behavioral, chemical, and molecular approaches, I disentangled the relationship of <i>S. pacificus</i> and its host ant. Chemical profiling of the bug and the ant revealed that the bug does not make use of CHC insignificance or mimicry, but instead uses a cocktail of volatile compounds released from its metathoracic glands that likely moderates encounters with its aggressive host. Feeding trials with armed and artificially disarmed bugs revealed a defensive function of the gland exudates. Targeted molecular gut barcoding showed that <i>S. pacificus</i> does not feed on <i>L. occidentale</i>.

Further behavioral testing in wind tunnel experiments indicated that additive (<i>E</i>)-2-hexenal or methyl salicylate stimulated the landing behaviors of both male and female <i>C. medinalis</i> compared with sex pheromones alone. Field evaluations showed that mixtures of sex pheromones and (<i>E</i>)-2-hexenal /methyl salicylate resulted in significantly higher catches to male moths than sex pheromones alone. Using 1:1 and 1:10 combinations of the sex pheromones and (<i>E</i>)-2-hexenal, the attraction of <i>C. medinalis</i> to mixtures showed a synergistic effect of 95% and 110%, respectively. Furthermore, 1:1 and 1:10 mixtures of the sex pheromones and methyl salicylate exhibited a synergistic effect of 69% and 146%, respectively. These results may provide the basis for developing efficient pest management strategies against <i>C. medinalis</i> using host-plant volatiles and insect sex pheromones.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":515,"journal":{"name":"Chemoecology","volume":"32 3","pages":"129 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4432615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
