The question of how reproductives and sterile workers differentiate within eusocial groups has long been a core issue in sociobiology because it requires the loss individual direct fitness favor indirect or group-level gains. evolution social behavior that differentiation between female be environmentally determined, genetically determined sterility would quickly eliminated. Nevertheless, we report clear evidence genetic caste determination populations two seed harvester ant species common...
Within studies of acute stress physiology an increase in glucocorticoid secretion is thought to be the primary mediator tissue response stress. Corticosteroid-binding globulin may regulate availability steroids, but has not been considered a dynamic component response. Here, we examined CBG level over common 60-minute time frame capture and handling protocol investigate whether capacity or static short stressors. Using comparative approach, measured nine species birds, representing five...
The behavior of reproductive female ants distinctly changes during the transition from virgin to mature, egg-laying queen. A winged ant flies only once her lifetime when she engages in nuptial flight. Once is mated sheds wings, excavates a nest and starts laying eggs, basis for future colony. We show two species harvester that this accompanied by performance behavioral tests: flying virgins are positively phototactic prefer open areas, whereas young queens dark, avoid areas and, given...
Plants protect themselves against herbivory with diverse chemical and physical defences, many herbivores have evolved counter-adaptations these defences. So far, little is known about herbivore to plant defences their underlying mechanisms. Here, we investigated how specialised Heliconiini caterpillars are able cope the hooked trichomes of Passiflora adenopoda vines. P. sharp tips reinforced silica, in contrast simpler other that do not deter larvae. While Heliconius melpomene H. erato...
Hybrid speciation occurs when combination of two interspecific genomes results in individuals that are high fitness but reproductively incompatible with the parental species. Although hybrid is a relatively common source new species plants, it appears to be much rarer occurrence animal taxa. Here we report on reproductive isolation and range overlap between rough harvester ant Pogonomyrmex rugosus lineages genotypes (H 1 H2). Both obligately interbreed produce genetically distinct queen...
The discovery of genetic caste determination (GCD) in populations Pogonomyrmex harvester ants raises many questions about the evolution and persistence such populations. arises from existence two distinct, but mutually dependent, lineages within a population. Workers always develop combination lineages, their sister queens within-lineage matings. Maintaining appears to be costly because queen-destined eggs are wasted when colony is not reproductive stage, yet these appear widespread. We...
Contraception represents one of the hallmarks on women´s health. However, most recent data reported related to contraceptive use in Brazil dates back 2006. Therefore, our study aimed describe patterns by Brazilian women 2012. Sample were extracted from 2012 National Health and Wellness Survey (NHWS), an internet based general health survey, which is stratified be representative age gender. Of 12,000 total respondents, 4,560 18-49 years old, which, methods questions applied. Information about...
