The evolution of queen control over worker reproduction in the social Hymenoptera [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 A trademark of eusocial insect species is reproductive division of labor, in which workers forego their own reproduction while the queen produces almost all offspring. The presence of the queen is key for maintaining social harmony, but the specific role of the queen in the evolution of eusociality remains unclear.

More than fruity scents: Pollination biology, scent, and spectral reflectance of Annonaceae species
Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.We characterised the floral visual and olfactory cues of numerous Annonaceae species and reported their pollinators. We further assessed the olfactory space of most Annonaceae species available in the literature. Abstract The family Annonaceae possesses a broad array of floral phenotypes and pollination specializations, and are important in the plant ...

Frequency and Viability of Diploid and Haploid Males Offsprings of Mated Females of Solitary Endoparasitoid (DIADROMUS Pulchellus) (Ichneumonidae) [PDF]
Comptes Rendus de l'Academie des Sciences. Serie 3, Sciences de la
Vie 324 (2001) 149-158, 2006 Sex determination in the order Hymenoptera is based on arrhenotoky, hymenopteran males are usually haploid and females diploid. Males of the Ichneumonidae Diadromus pulchellus, solitary endoparasitoid of A. assectella pupae are normally haploid, but diploid males are present in a natural population and can be obtained in a experimental population.

Chemoreceptor Evolution in Hymenoptera and Its Implications for the Evolution of Eusociality
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2015 Eusocial insects, mostly Hymenoptera, have evolved unique colonial lifestyles that rely on the perception of social context mainly through pheromones, and chemoreceptors are hypothesized to have played important adaptive roles in the evolution of ...
