The effect of juvenile hormone on the chemical profile and fertility of Lasius niger queens
Cuticular hydrocarbons serve as cues for nestmate recognition in Lasius ants, and the compound 3-MeC31 signals the queen’s fertility, acting as a queen pheromone to regulate reproductive division of labour. Juvenile hormone (JH) has been reported to inhibit reproduction in Lasius niger queens during vitellogenesis and oogenesis by modulating vitellogenin expression. The hormonal pleiotropy of juvenile hormone (JH) has been shown to affect fertility and the production of fertility cues in other social insects. The purpose of this study is to review the effect of JH on queen reproduction by looking at egg-laying rates in the early phases of nest foundation, as well as changes in chemical profiles and 3-MeC31 expression. Methoprene treatment led to an increase of 3-MeC31 production compared to precocene-treated queens; however, there was no increase in egg laying. Furthermore, chemical profiles of males and winged queens differed distinctly from the treated dealate queens.
期刊介绍：
It is the aim of Chemoecology to promote and stimulate basic science in the field of chemical ecology by publishing research papers that integrate evolution and/or ecology and chemistry in an attempt to increase our understanding of the biological significance of natural products. Its scopes cover the evolutionary biology, mechanisms and chemistry of biotic interactions and the evolution and synthesis of the underlying natural products. Manuscripts on the evolution and ecology of trophic relationships, intra- and interspecific communication, competition, and other kinds of chemical communication in all types of organismic interactions will be considered suitable for publication. Ecological studies of trophic interactions will be considered also if they are based on the information of the transmission of natural products (e.g. fatty acids) through the food-chain. Chemoecology further publishes papers that relate to the evolution and ecology of interactions mediated by non-volatile compounds (e.g. adhesive secretions). Mechanistic approaches may include the identification, biosynthesis and metabolism of substances that carry information and the elucidation of receptor- and transduction systems using physiological, biochemical and molecular techniques. Papers describing the structure and functional morphology of organs involved in chemical communication will also be considered.
