The function of intramandibular glands of the ant Neoponera villosa (Fabricius, 1804) (Hymenoptera: Ponerinae)
In social insects, secretions of the exocrine gland may modulate their behavior. Although many glands have their functions elucidated, this is absent for the intramandibular glands in ants. To study the function of intramandibular gland secretions in the ant Neoponera villosa, its compounds were subjected to behavioral analyses. These analyses revealed a significant increase in the walking time of ants exposed to the nestmate mandible extract. The results suggest that intramandibular gland compounds of N. villosa may play the role of alarm or scent trial pheromones.
期刊介绍:
Tropical Zoology is an international zoological journal publishing original papers in the field of systematics, biogeography, phylogeny, ecology and conservation of all terrestrial and aquatic animal Phyla from tropical and subtropical areas.
Only papers with new information, high quality and broad interest are considered. Single species description and checklists are not normally accepted. Review papers are welcome. The journal is owned by the Istituto di Ricerca sugli Ecosistemi Terrestri of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Florence, Italy (CNR-IRET) who performs research into the structure and functioning of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, focusing in particular on anthropogenic pressure and global change. The knowledge amassed forms the scientific basis for identifying the most appropriate protective and corrective interventions, and provides support for the bodies entrusted with formulating policies for environmental protection and recovery.
