Der volle Inhalt der QuelleENGLISH ABSTRACT: Cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles of insects play roles in behavioural interactions within and between species, encompassing species-, colony- and mate-recognition. CHCs are largely genetically determined and are thus unique to each species, making them useful in chemotaxonomy. However, species exhibit intra-species variation in their CHC profile which can be the result of both intra-species genetic variation as well as environmental influences such as habitat effects, colony effects, diet, host switching, as well as adsorption of CHCs from other insects. Studies have found that the CHC profiles of a specific insect species will often exhibit variations between regions as well as the species of host the insect is associated with. Therefore, an ideal system to investigate the effects of genetic population structure and environment on the CHC profiles of insects is within the fig – fig wasp mutualism. Fig species occur in a wide variety of habitats and host a diverse complement of fig wasp species. We were therefore offered the opportunity to investigate a wide range of potential influences on fig wasp CHC profiles ranging from environmental to genetic effects. Firstly, through GC-MS we found that the CHC profiles of the fig wasps investigated are both species-specific and species-group-specific, with the species Elisabethiella glumosae, Elisabethiella stuckenbergi and Ceratosolen capensis, and two Otitesella species-groups (the Uluzi and Sesqui species-groups) separating out significantly. Consensus phylogenies (based on COI, Cytb and EF-1α) showed that within the galling fig wasp genus Otitesella there were multiple genetic lineages within a species-group which corresponds to species-level genetic variation, and that each genetic lineage was confined to a single host fig species. The CHC profiles reflected the genetic relationships between the two species-groups, and the CHC profiles within a species group could be differentiated by genetic lineage/host species. This indicated that although genetic lineage was mostly responsible for the observed variation in CHC profiles, factors associated with different host species also had an effect. Strong regional variation overriding both the influence of genetic lineage and factors associated with host species were observed in the CHC profiles of the fig wasps within a species-group. This regional variation in CHC profiles was also observed within two pollinating fig wasp species, Elisabethiella stuckenbergi and Ceratosolen capensis, which was not supported by population genetic data (COI and Cytb). In fact, very little genetic population structure was found within the pollinating species, even though the pollinators were collected across South Africa. The lack of genetic structure in pollinating fig wasps can be the result of high gene flow caused by the large dispersal capability of pollinating fig wasps. Our results indicated that fig wasp CHC profiles have the potential to be used in chemotaxonomy and are possibly used as species and mate-recognition cues by the fig wasps. Furthermore, we found both a regional and associated host species effect on the CHC profile. We suggest that the observed regional effect in this study could be attributed to habitat differences and differences in fig wasp community between regions. Moreover, the effect host species had on the CHC profiles may be as a result of dietary differences between galls in different host species. A possible consequence of the observed regional/host speciesassociated effect on fig wasp CHC profiles is that it could lead to pre-mating isolation within fig wasp species, which could ultimately result in speciation. In addition, our results indicated that the interpretation of the variation in the fig wasp CHC profile was dependent on the scale of the analysis: on a broad, inter-species-level scale, fig wasp CHC profiles were species-specific; on a finer intra-species scale, variation in CHC profiles occurred between fig wasps collected from different regions; and on a within-region scale, variation in CHC profiles within species-groups occurred between genetic lineages/host species. Future studies should look at the application of CHCs in chemotaxonomic studies on the fig wasp phylogeny, as well as the effect of fig wasp community composition on fig wasp CHCs.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Kutikulêre koolwaterstof (KK) profiele van insekte speel rolle in die gedragsinteraksies binne sowel as tussen spesies, en behels die herkenning van spesieof kolonielidmaatskap asook potensiële maats. Kutikulêre koolwaterstowwe word meestal deur gene bepaal en is dus uniek vir elke spesie, wat dit handig maak vir chemotaksonomie. Spesies vertoon egter soms intraspesie variasie in hul KK profiele wat die gevolg kan wees van beide intraspesie genetiese variasie sowel as omgewingsinvloede soos habitat effekte, kolonie effekte, dieet, tussen-gasheer skuiwings, asook die adsorpsie van ander insekte se kutikulêre koolwaterstowwe. Studies het gevind dat die kutikulêre koolwaterstof profiele van ʼn spesifieke insek spesie op ʼn gereelde basis verskille vertoon tussen streke asook tussen die verskillende gasheer spesies waarmee die insek geassosieer is. Om hierdie redes is die vy – vy-wesp mutualisme ʼn ideale sisteem om die uitwerking van genetiese populasie struktuur en omgewing op die KK profiele van insekte te ondersoek. Vy spesies kom in ʼn wye verskeidenheid van habitatte voor en ondersteun ʼn diverse groep vy-wesp spesies. Dit het ons die geleentheid gebied om ʼn wye reeks moontlike invloede van vy-wesp KK profiele te ondersoek, van omgewings- tot genetiese invloede. Eerstens, deur die gebruik van GC-MS het ons gevind dat die KK profiele van die vy-wespe wat ondersoek was beide spesie-spesifiek en spesie-groep-spesifiek is, met die spesies Elisabethiella glumosae, Elisabethiella stuckenbergi en Ceratosolen capensis, asook twee Otitesella spesie-groepe (die Uluzi en Sesqui spesie-groepe) wat betekenisvol onderskei kon word. Konsensus filogenieë (gegrond op COI, Cytb en EF1-1α) het getoon dat daar in die gal-induserende vy-wesp genus Otitesella veelvuldige genetiese lyne binne die spesie-groepe voorgekom het ooreenstemmend met tussen-spesie genetiese variasie, en dat elke genetiese lyn beperk was tot ʼn enkele gasheer vy spesie. Die KK profiele het die genetiese verhoudings tussen die twee spesie-groepe weerspieël, en die KK profiele binne ʼn spesie-groep kon onderskei word op grond van hul genetiese lyn/gasheer spesie. Hierdie het getoon dat, alhoewel genetiese lyn meestal verantwoordelik was vir die waargeneemde variasie in KK profiele, faktore wat met verskille in gasheer spesies gepaard gaan ook ʼn effek gehad het. Sterk streeks-verbonde variasie wat beide die invloed van genetiese lyn, én faktore wat met verskille in gasheer spesie gepaard gaan, oortref het, was waargeneem in die KK profiele van die vy-wespe binne ʼn spesie-groep. Hierdie streeks-verbonde variasie in KK profiele was ook waargeneem in twee bestuiwende vy-wespe, Elisabethiella stuckenbergi en Ceratosolen capensis, ʼn resultaat wat nie ondersteun was deur die genetiese bevolkingsdata nie (COI en Cytb). In werklikheid was baie min genetiese bevolkings-struktuur opgespoor binne die bestuiwer spesies, selfs as was die bestuiwer spesies regoor Suid-Afrika ingesamel. Die tekort aan genetiese struktuur in die vy-wesp bestuiwers kan die gevolg wees van hoë geenvloei wat veroorsaak word deur die hoë verspreidingskapasiteit van bestuiwende vy-wespe. Die resultate toon aan dat vy-wesp KK profiele die potensiaal besit om in chemotaksonomie gebruik te word, en word moontlik deur vy-wespe gebruik as kenmerke vir die herkenning van spesie en potensiële maats. Verder was daar gevind dat daar beide ʼn streekseffek en ʼn effek geassosieer met gasheer spesie op KK profiele was. Ons stel voor dat die waargeneemde streekseffek in hierdie studie toegeskryf kan word aan verskille tussen habitatte asook streeksverbonde verskille tussen vy-wesp gemeenskappe. Boonop kan die effek wat gasheer spesie op die KK profiele gehad het ʼn gevolg wees van dieetverskille tussen die galle in verskillende gasheer spesies. ʼn Moontlike gevolg van die waargeneemde streeks/gasheer-spesie-geassosieerde effek op vy-wesp KK profiele is dat dit moontlik kon lei tot voor-paring-isolasie binne vy-wesp spesies, wat uiteindelik spesiasie kon veroorsaak het. Daarbenewens wys ons resultate dat die interpretasie van die variasie in die vy-wesp KK profiel was afhanklik van die skaal van die analise: op ʼn breë interspesie vlak was die vy-wesp KK profiele spesiespesifiek; op ʼn fyner intra-spesie vlak het variasie in KK profiele voorgekom tussen vy-wespe wat in verskillende streke ingesamel was; en op streeksvlak het variasie in die KK profiele binne spesie-groepe voorgekom tussen genetiese lyne/gasheer spesies. Toekomstige studies behoort te kyk na die toepassing van kutikulêre koolwaterstowwe in chemotaksonomiese studies van die vy-wesp filogenie, asook die effek wat vy-wesp gemeenskap samestelling het op vy-wesp kutikulêre koolwaterstowwe.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleDifferences in the timing of exoskeleton melanization and sclerotization processes are evident when comparing the external morphology of social and solitary bee species. Such differences may constitute a relevant example of cuticular maturation heterochrony, this term referring to a genetic change in timing of an ontogenetic process relative to an ancestor or between taxons. We proposed that social bees, which remain protected inside the colony for many days before initiating outside nest activities, would reach the maturity of some organic systems, such as the integument (epidermis and cuticle), later than solitary bees, which start such activities immediately after ecdysis. We tested this hypothesis in a comparative study of the developing integument of eusocial bees, Apis mellifera and Frieseomelitta varia, and the solitary bee Centris analis. Using RNA-seq, we verified that the expression profiles of genes involved in cuticular melanization and sclerotization (ebony and tan), chitin deposition and organization (Cda5, Idgf4, chitooligosacchariodolytic-domain-like), and cuticle formation (CPR14, CPR17, CPR18, CPR25, CPR23, CPE26, Apd-3, Apd-like) were positively, correlated between the two eusocial species, but not between the eusocial and the solitary species. Some of the genes with roles in regulating exoskeleton maturation (FTZ-F1, E74, Hr46, Hr4) were co-expressed only in the eusocial species. The expression profiles of these genes (except Hr46) and other regulatory genes (Ethr, Hr38, Rickets, Ptx-1) were also positively correlated exclusively in the eusocial bees. We also highlighted the expression of genes involved in non-melanin pigment production and the expression of circadian rhythm genes that could be related to chitin layers deposition. Transmission electron microscopy analysis of the integument of the two eusocial and the solitary bee species, in addition to other three bee species (the primitively eusocial Bombus brasilienses; the facultatively social Euglossa cordata; the solitary bee Tetrapedia diversipes), showed differences in cuticle ultrastructure and thickness, thus supporting the RNA-seq data. In agreement with our hypothesis, CHC quantifications were consistent with the expression levels of genes involved in CHC biosynthesis, thus differentiating the superficial cuticle layer of the eusocial and solitary species. Together, the integument transcriptomes, ultrastructure, and CHC quantification allowed us to characterize differences in the timing of cuticle maturation in social and solitary bees

Resumo: Este trabalho discute alguns aspectos da ecologia da formiga lava-pés Solenopsis invicta e seus parasitóides, as moscas do gênero Pseudacteon (familia Phoridae), e da taxonomia de S. invicta e S. saevissima, ambas nativas da América do Sul. A alometria de colônias de S. invicta no sudeste do Brasil foi estudada através de medições das dimensões do ninho acima do solo, seguidas por escavação e medida da profundidade, biomassa e número de operárias da colônia, assim como da largura média da cabeça das operárias. Análise de regressão dos dados para 28 colônias forneceu novas relações alométricas que podem ser usadas para estimar o volume do ninho (acima e abaixo da superfície do solo), a biomassa de formigas, e o número de operárias a partir do volume do ninho acima do solo. A biomassa de formigas por unidade de volume do ninho, o número de operarias por unidade de volume do ninho, o peso médio por operária, e a largura média da cabeça das operárias foram essencialmente independentes do tamanho da colônia. Em contraste, estas quatro quantidades aumentam com o tamanho da colônia entre colônias de S. invicta na América do Norte. O ciclo sazonal e abundância de moscas parasitóides do gênero Pseudacteon na vizinhança de colônias de S. invicta no sudeste do Brasil foi observado ao longo de um período de 3 anos em li áreas de gramíneas nos arredores de Campinas. O número médio N de forídeos atraídos para um ninho de formigas lava-pés ao longo de um período padrão de observação (15 min) foi usado como uma medida da abundância de forídeos. As dimensões do ninho e algumas variáveis meteorológicas foram também registradas em cada ninho de formigas lava-pés. Pseudacteon tricuspis foi a espécie mais comum (70.4%), seguido por P. curvatus (23.8%), P. obtusus (1.9%) e P.litoralis (3.9%). As características mais notáveis das flutuações sazonais da abundância de Pseudacteon são picos abruptos com duração aproximada de um mês (valores máximos de N entre 4 e 10 forídeos/ninho), que ocorreram em abril e junho de alguns anos; para comparação, valores típicos de N estavam entre 0.2 e 2 forídeos/ninho. As populações de forídeos parecem ser destruídas por incêndios e inundações, mas recuperam-se em uma escala de tempo da ordem de meses. Nenhuma correlação significativa foi encontrada entre a abundância de Pseudacteon e variáveis meteoro lógicas, densidade, ou volume de ninhos de S. invicta, sugerindo que a abundância de Pseudacteon não está diretamente ligada a abundância de S. invicta. Flutuações quase idênticas em abundância de Pseudacteon foram observadas ao longo de um período de 6 meses em duas áreas de estudo separadas por cerca de 3 km, o que pode ser causado por dispersão de forídeos e conseqüente uniformização de densidades sobre áreas de vários quilômetros quadrados. Os números de forídeos atraídos pelos vários ninhos de S. invicta incluídos neste estudo seguiram uma distribuição de Poisson em baixas abundâncias de Pseudacteon (N < 0,5 forídeos/ninho); a distribuição tornava-se mais e mais contagiosa com o aumento da abundância de Pseudacteon (até o máximo observado, de N = 10 forídeoslninho). Esta observação sugere que a atratividade de um ninho de formigas lava-pés aos parasitóides aumenta com o número de forídeos que foram previamente atraídos para o ninho. Critérios quantitativos eficientes foram desenvolvidos para distinguir entre S. invicta e S. saevissima, que são morfológicamente muito similares e cujas distribuições geográficas na América do Sul se sobrepõe significativamente. Estes critérios resultaram da análise de 68 amostras de formigas lava-pés de 9 localidades espalhadas pelo estado de São Paulo (sudeste do Brasil) através de cromatografia gasosa e espectrometria de massa. 22 hidrocarbonetos cuticulares e 18 alcalóides piperidínicos foram identificados nas amostras estudadas, e suas abundâncias relativas foram analisadas utilizando análises de componentes principais e de funções discriminantes. Estas análises mostraram uma separacão nítida entre as duas espécies em um plano com certas coordenadas (P,Q), que são funções das abundâncias relativas dos hidrocarbonetos cuticulares. As amostras provenientes de uma das localidades (São José do Rio Preto) têm uma composição de hidrocarbonetos que é claramente diferente de todas as outras amostras consideradas neste estudo, mas também apresentam algumas caracteristicas em comum com cada uma das duas espécies. Uma possibilidade é que esta população constitua um hibrido de S. invicta e S. saevissima. As duas espécies também exibem uma separação razoavelmente nítida em um plano com coordenadas (R$), que são funções das abundâncias relativas de alcalóides piperidínicos. Os resultados das identificações de espécies baseados nestes critérios de separação quimica concordam com os resultados baseados em um critério morfológico, a presença ou ausência do dente clipeal mediano. A população "anômala" de São José do Rio Preto é morfologicamente classificada como S. invicta
Abstract: This work discusses some aspects of the ecology of the fire ant species Solenopsis invicta and its phorid parasitoid flies ofthe genus Pseudacteon, and ofthe taxonomy of S. invicta and S. saevissima, both of which are native to South America. The allometry of S. invicta colonies in southeast Brazil was studied by measurement of mound (aboveground) dimensions, followed by excavation and measurement of the colony depth, biomass, number of workers, and mean worker head width. Regression anaIysis of data for 28 colonies yielded new allometric relationships which can be used to estimate nest volume (above and below ground), ant biomass, and number ofworkers ITom mound (aboveground) volume. Ant biomass per unit nest volume, number of workers per unit nest volume, mean worker weight, and mean worker head width were nearly independent of colony size. In contrast, these four quantities increase with colony size among S. invicta colonies in North America. The seasonal cycle of abundance of Pseudacteon phorid flies in the vicinity of S. invicta colonies in southeast Brazil was observed over a 3-year period in 11 grass-covered areas in the outskirts of Campinas. The average number N of phorids attracted to a fire ant nest over a standard observation period (15 min) was used as a measure of phorid abundance. Mound dimensions and meteorological variables were also recorded at each fIre ant nest. Pseudacteon tricuspis was the most common species (84.2%), followed by P. curvatus (12.6%), P. obtusus (2.7%) e P. litoralis (0.5%). The most remarkabIe featores of the seasonal fluctuations of Pseudacteon abundance are sharp month-Iong peaks (peak N values between 4 and 10 phorids/nest) which occurred in Abril and June of some years; for comparison, at other times N was typically between 0.2 and 2 phorids/nest. Phorid populations seem to be destroyed by rifes and floods, but recover on a time scale of months. No significant correlation was found between Pseudacteon abundance and meteorological variables, density, or volume of S. invicta nests, suggesting that Pseudacteon abundance is not determined by, and does not determine, the abundance of S. invicta. Almost identical fluctuations in Pseudacteon abundance were observed over a 6-month period in two study areas separated by about 3 km, which may be due to phorid dispersaI and consequent density uniformization over areas of several square kilorneters. The nurnbers of phorids attracted by the various S. invicta nests inc1uded in this study followed a Poisson distribution at 10w Pseudacteon abundances (N < 0.5 phorids/nest), becoming more and more contagious at high Pseudacteon abundances (up to N= 10 phorids/nest). This observation suggests that the attractiveness oftire ant nests to phorid parasitoids increase with the nurnbeer ofphorids which have been previously attracted to the nest. Efficient quantitative criteria were developed for distinguishing between S. invicta and S. saevissima, which are morphologically very similar and whose geographical ranges in South Arnerica significantly overlap. These criteria resulted from the analysis of 68 tire ant samples from 9 localities across São Paulo state (southeast Brazil) via gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. 22 cuticular hydrocarbons and 18 piperidine alkaloids were identified in the studied samples, and their relative abundances were analyzed using principal component and discrirninant function analyses. These analyses showed a sharp separation between the two species in a plane with certain coordinates (P,Q), which are functions of the relative abundances of cuticular hydrocarbons. The fire ant samples from one of the localities (São José do Rio Preto) had a hydrocarbon composition which was markedly different from ali other samples considered in this study, but had some features in common with each ofthe two species. One possibility is that this population constitutes a hybrid of S. invicta and S. saevissima. The two species also show a reasonably sharp separation in a plane with coordinates (R,S), which are functions of the relative abundances of piperidine alkaloids. The species identification results based on these chernical separation criteria agree with those based on a morphological criterion, the presence or absence of the median clypeal tooth. The "anomalous" population from São José do Rio Preto is rnorphologically c1assified as S. invicta

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleCuticular hydrocarbons are important for recognition of nestmates in social insect colonies. Many studies have shown qualitative and quantitative variations in the cuticular hydrocarbons between adult insects. However, approaches on developmental profiles of these compounds during cuticle formation and differentiation are scarce, and restricted to larval stages of holometabolous and nymphs of hemimetabolous. The main objective of this work was to characterize the cuticular hydrocarbons profiles and the expression of genes potentially involved in the biosynthesis of these compounds during the synthesis and differentiation of the adult cuticle in the honeybee. The hydrocarbons profiles were characterized using GC/MS and showed remarkable quantitative differences, thus discriminating the pupal, pharate-adult and adult cuticles from each other. In parallel, we used annotated sequences of enzymes catalyzing lipid desaturation (desaturases) or elongation (elongases), available in NCBI data bank, for primers design and gene expression analysis using RT-qPCR. Five desaturase genes and eight elongase genes showed statistically significant expression changes in the integument of adult bees in comparison to pupae and pharate-adults. Correlation tests supported roles of some of the desaturase and elongase genes in hydrocarbons biosynthesis for incorporation into adult cuticle. In addition, these results go along with the hypothesis that in social insects the cuticle is just completed when the insect starts forager activity. Taken together, these data and an analysis on the molecular evolution of desaturases and elongases allowed suggesting the steps in the pathway of cuticular hydrocarbons biosynthesis that are catalyzed by these enzymes, and also allowed to elect candidate genes for further functional studies using gene silencing mediated by RNAi.
