An unusual recruitment strategy in a mass-recruiting stingless bee, Partamona orizabaensis
Flaig, Isabelle; Schmitt, Thomas; Jarau, Stefan; Aguilar, Ingrid (Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2016-07-13)Foragers of several stingless bee species deposit attractive scent marks on solid substrates to precisely recruit nestmates to food. Interestingly, Partamona workers quickly recruit large numbers of nest mates to resources, ... -
Learnt information in species-specific ‘trail pheromone’ communication in stingless bees
Reichle, Christian; Aguilar Monge, Ingrid; Ayasse, Manfred; Twele, Robert; Francke, Wittko; Jarau, Stefan (Elsevier, 2013)Specificity in biological signalling systems is often important to keep information private. Foragers of several species of stingless bees deposit chemical marking signals to guide nestmates to food sources. The markings ... -
Nest-specific composition of the trail pheromone of the stingless bee Trigona corvina within populations
John, Lena; Aguilar, Ingrid; Ayasse, Manfredo; Jarau, Stefan (Springer, 2012)Social insects have evolved highly developed communication systems, enabling them to coordinate complex interactions in their colonies. Pheromones play a major role in the coordination of many tasks. In Trigona corvina, a ...
