TL;DR: In this paper, the authors sequenced genomes, microRNAs, and multiple transcriptomes and methylomes from individual brains in a wasp (Polistes canadensis) and an ant (Dinoponera quadriceps) that live in simple eusocial societies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and evolution of social insect queen pheromones: Novel hypotheses and outstanding problems
Cintia Akemi Oi,Jelle S. van Zweden,Ricardo Caliari Oliveira,Annette Van Oystaeyen,Fabio S. Nascimento,Tom Wenseleers +5 more
TL;DR: It is provided compelling evidence that these pheromones should best be seen as honest signals of fertility as opposed to suppressive agents that chemically sterilize the workers against their own best interests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repeated evolution of soldier sub-castes suggests parasitism drives social complexity in stingless bees
Christoph Grüter,Christoph Grüter,Francisca H. I. D. Segers,Francisca H. I. D. Segers,Cristiano Menezes,Ayrton Vollet-Neto,Tiago Falcon,Lucas von Zuben,Márcia Maria Gentile Bitondi,Fabio S. Nascimento,Eduardo A. B. Almeida +10 more
TL;DR: The discovery of a guard caste in ten species of stingless bees is found and the evolution of the guard caste is associated with parasitization by robber bees, revealing unexpected diversity in the social organization of Stingless bees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stingless Bee Larvae Require Fungal Steroid to Pupate
Camila R. Paludo,Cristiano Menezes,Cristiano Menezes,Eduardo A. Silva-Junior,Ayrton Vollet-Neto,Andrés Andrade-Domínguez,Gleb Pishchany,Lily Khadempour,Fabio S. Nascimento,Cameron R. Currie,Roberto Kolter,Jon Clardy,Mônica Tallarico Pupo +12 more
TL;DR: This unprecedented case of bee-fungus symbiosis driven by steroid requirement brings new perspectives regarding pollinator-microbiota interaction and preservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nestmate recognition in a stingless bee: does the similarity of chemical cues determine guard acceptance?
Túlio M. Nunes,Fabio S. Nascimento,Fabio S. Nascimento,Izabel Cristina Casanova Turatti,Norberto Peporine Lopes,Ronaldo Zucchi +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that guards compare the chemical cuticular blend of incoming individuals and make acceptance decisions according to the similarity of the compounds between the colonies.
