The relative importance of queen and king initial weights in termite colony foundation success

Insectes Sociaux, 2019
In termites, primary reproductives proceed through dispersal flight with finite metabolic reserves. During colony foundation, the mated pair requires just enough resources to produce the first few workers, through biparental care. When alloparental care is established, the primary reproductives are fully supported by their own offspring.

Weight at emergence of honey bee (Apis mellifera caucasica) queens and its effect on live weights at the pre and post mating periods

Journal of Apicultural Research, 2008
SummaryFifty queens weighed at emergence were allocated into three groups as: light (under 190 mg); moderate (between 190–200 mg); heavy (over 200 mg), and introduced into Kirchainer mating nuclei. The queens were then weighed at ages ranging from three to 40 days and the intervals between emergence, mating and onset of oviposition were determined. The

EFFECT OF WEIGHT OF AFRICANIZED QUEENS (Apis mellifera L.) AT BIRTH IN HONEY PRODUCTION IN SEMI-ARID PIAUIENSE

AGROPECUÁRIA CIENTÍFICA NO SEMIÁRIDO, 2012
Objetivou-se verificar o peso de rainhas africanizadas ao emergir relacionando com a produção de mel no semi-árido piauiense. A produção de rainhas foi realizada no Setor de Apicultura da UFPI, nos meses de fevereiro-março e outubro-novembro de 2008, a partir de colméia matriz selecionada em Bela Vista-PI.

Weight and Life Length of Hibernating Bumble Bee Queens (Hymenoptera: Bombidae) under Controlled Conditions

Insect Systematics & Evolution, 1972
AbstractA large number of bumble bee queens of B. terrestris L. and B. lapidarius L. were hibernated in a refrigerator at 4-5° C. Each queen was placed in a plastic container with Perlite as bedding. Of a total of I079 queens, 75I (7I %) were alive after 8-9 months of hibernation. The queens lost in body weight during hibernation.

Seasonal variation in weight and biochemical composition of the tissues of the queen scallop,Chlamys opercularis, from the Clyde Sea area

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1979
A number of studies exist on the seasonal cycles of body weight and tissue biochemistry of several species of bivalve from the Clyde Sea area (Ansell & Trevallion, 1967; Ansell, 1974,et seq), including two members of the Pectinidae, namelyChlamys septemradiata(Müller) (Ansell, 1974) andPecten maximusL. (Comely, 1974).

The effect of iron ore suspensions and food on the shell growth rates and tissue weights of queen scallops Chlamys opercularis held in the laboratory

Marine Environmental Research, 1984
Abstract A machine to provide continuous supplies of Tazadit iron ore suspensions to queen scallops Chlamys opercularis held under controlled conditions of food supply, temperature and illumination, is described. The influence of iron ore suspensions, 0 to 70 mg litre -1 , and micro-algae Tetraselmis suecica 0 to 1·3 × 10 4 cells per millilitre,
