Factors influencing variation in adult behavior of the tropical paper wasp Polistes canadensis

ABSTRACT: The division of reproductive labor seen among individuals of the same colony in eusocial societies is one of the hallmarks of social evolution. These divisions have led to the evolution of distinct morphological or behavioral phenotypes known as ‘castes’. The establishment of a reproductive division of labor between individual colony members is a question of particular importance when studying simple eusocial societies. The classical paradigm of these societies is that all females are totipotent with the ability to exploit reproductive opportunities when they arise. Research has hypothesized that age variation in behavior could play an important role in how this division of labor is decided. Here, we provide the first systematic and statistical approach to the study of adult behavior in the tropical paper wasp, Polistes canadensis.

RNA sequencing of Harpegnathos saltator workers and gamergates' non-visual brains, ovaries, and fat bodies at 0, 3, and 10 days after initiation of the dueling tournament

Project description:Ant societies exhibit a division of labor in which a queen is in charge of reproduction while non-reproductive workers maintain the colony. In Harpegnathos saltator, workers retain reproductive ability, inhibited by the queen pheromones. Following the queen loss, the colony undergoes social unrest with an antenna dueling tournament. Most workers quickly abandon the tournament while a few workers continue the dueling for months and become gamergates (pseudoqueens). However, the temporal dynamics of the molecular mechanisms underlining the caste transition and social dominance remain unclear. To identify genetic factors responsible for this transition, we compared transcriptomes of ovary, fat body, and non-visual brains between dueling and non-dueling workers.

The molecular basis and evolution of cooperative brood care in bumblebees

Project description:Sibling care is a hallmark of the social insects, but its evolution remains challenging to explain. The hypothesis that sibling care evolved from ancestral maternal care in the primitively eusocial insects has been elaborated to involve heterochronic changes in gene expression. This elaboration leads to the prediction that workers in these species will show patterns of gene expression more similar to foundress queens, who express maternal care behavior, than to established queens engaged solely in reproductive behavior. We tested this idea in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris using a microarray platform with ca. 4,500 genes. Unlike in the wasp Polistes metricus, in which support for the above prediction has been obtained, we found that patterns of brain gene expression in foundress and queen bumblebees were more similar to each other than to workers. However, comparisons of lists of differentially expressed genes derived from this study and gene lists from microarray studies in Polistes and the honeybee Apis mellifera suggest that there is a shared set of genes involved in the regulation of related social behaviors across independent eusocial lineages. Together, these results suggest that the multiple independent evolutions of eusociality in the insects involved a combination of shared and different mechanisms.

Polistes_metricus_dominance_arrays

Project description:This experiment examined ovary gene expression differences between females in primitively eusocial Polistes metricus paper wasps. Specifically, we compared expression patterns between groups of females that differed in their reproductive dominance status. We compared dominant and subordinate foundresses, dominant and subordinate workers, and egg-laying queens. The purpose was to investigate how the social environment and dominance status affect ovary gene expression in individual females.

honeybee proteome

Project description:The honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) is a eusocial insect that uses various chemical signals such as royal jelly (RJ) produced by the worker exocrine glands, to maintain the ‘physiology’ of its colony. The roles of worker hypopharyngeal glands (HpG) and the changes they undergo according to the division of labor from nursing to foraging have been extensively studied. The functions of other exocrine glands, however, such as the postcerebral glands (PcGs), thoracic glands (TGs), and mandibular glands (MGs), and their changes according to the division of labor of workers are not as well studied. To comprehensively characterize the molecular roles of these glands in workers and their changes according to the division of labor of workers, we analyzed the proteomes of PcGs, TGs, and MGs from nurse bees and foragers using large-scale and spectral counting-based semi-quantitative proteomics.

Gene expression of metamorphosis in fire ants

Project description:Ants are among the most successful animals on earth, with societies of a complexity that rivals our own. These societies are characterized by reproductive division of labor between female queens that can live several years and lay thousands of eggs per day, workers that live only a few months and are sterile, and males that live only a few weeks and do not participate in colony tasks. These striking differences in lifespan and roles are echoed by extensive morphological and physiological divergence. Using the fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, we conduct the first genome-wide survey of developmental gene expression levels over 20 time-points from larval to adult stages in workers, queens and males Three castes: Worker, queen & male; four colonies used for each caste (12 colonies total). Timepoints: 0h, 3h, 6h, 12h, 18h, 24h, 36h and 48h (hour timepoints) and once every 24hours until eclosion (day timepoints). Eclosion occured after 15 days for male (21 timepoints), 14 days for queen (20 timepoints) and 12 days for worker larvae (19 timepoints). We used a loop design with direct comparisons of consecutive samples within each cast: two loops in one Dye-direction, two loops in the other for balance. Additionally, 3-5 hybridizations against an unrelated Reference RNA were performed within each replicate loop. Microarray batch is indicated in the description column
