Cuticular Hydrocarbon Studies in Neotropical Social Wasps

2020
Cuticular hydrocarbons are chemical compounds present in all insects and primarily involved in preventing water loss and protecting against pathogenic microorganisms. In social insects, cuticular hydrocarbons evolved in cues that provide multilevel information. In this chapter, we review the studies on cuticular hydrocarbons in Neotropical social wasps.

A simple method for analysis of insect cuticular hydrocarbons

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1990
Cuticular hydrocarbons from tiny pieces of insect cuticle can be analyzed directly by gas chromatography without solvent. The cuticle, sealed in a glass capillary, is introduced into the heated injector area of a gas Chromatograph, and the glass capillary crushed after heating for 4 min.

Cuticular hydrocarbons of gregarious and solitary locustsLocusta migratoria cinerascens

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1986
The cuticular hydrocarbons ofLocusta migratoria cinerascens-larvae and adults, males and females, gregarious and solitaries-have been investigated by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The hydrocarbons comprise 52-78% of the cuticular lipids and are divided inton-alkanes (28.7-47.3%), 3-, 4-, and 5-methylalkanes (11.3-15.8%), internally ...

Cuticular Hydrocarbons and Aggression in the Termite Macrotermes Subhyalinus

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2004
Cuticular hydrocarbons are among the prime candidates for nestmate recognition in social insects. We analyzed the variation of cuticular hydrocarbons in the termite species M. subhyalinus in West Africa (Comoë National Park) on a small spatial scale (< 1 km).

Cuticular hydrocarbons of grasshoppers from the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 2000
Cuticular lipids of adult Schistocerca literosa, Schistocerca melanocera and Halmenus robustus were analyzed. They have a similar range of hydrocarbons to those previously reported for other grasshoppers, but contain significant amounts of squalene which has not previously been reported from grasshopper cuticle.
