    The Functions and Evolution of Social Fluid Exchange in Ant Colonies (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Marie-Pierre Meurville & Adria C

    ISSN 1997-3500 Myrmecological News myrmecologicalnews.org Myrmecol. News 31: 1-30 doi: 10.25849/myrmecol.news_031:001 13 January 2021 Review Article Trophallaxis: the functions and evolution of social fluid exchange in ant colonies (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Marie-Pierre Meurville & Adria C. LeBoeuf Abstract Trophallaxis is a complex social fluid exchange emblematic of social insects and of ants in particular. Trophallaxis behaviors are present in approximately half of all ant genera, distributed over 11 subfamilies. Across biological life, intra- and inter-species exchanged fluids tend to occur in only the most fitness-relevant behavioral contexts, typically transmitting endogenously produced molecules adapted to exert influence on the receiver’s physiology or behavior. Despite this, many aspects of trophallaxis remain poorly understood, such as the prevalence of the different forms of trophallaxis, the components transmitted, their roles in colony physiology and how these behaviors have evolved. With this review, we define the forms of trophallaxis observed in ants and bring together current knowledge on the mechanics of trophallaxis, the contents of the fluids transmitted, the contexts in which trophallaxis occurs and the roles these behaviors play in colony life. We identify six contexts where trophallaxis occurs: nourishment, short- and long-term decision making, immune defense, social maintenance, aggression, and inoculation and maintenance of the gut microbiota. Though many ideas have been put forth on the evolution of trophallaxis, our analyses support the idea that stomodeal trophallaxis has become a fixed aspect of colony life primarily in species that drink liquid food and, further, that the adoption of this behavior was key for some lineages in establishing ecological dominance.

A complete survey of the Narrow-headed Ant Formica exsecta nests on the Devon Wildlife Trust Reserve at Chudleigh Knighton Heath (CKH) begun in 2018 was continued and about 133 active nests are currently being monitored at CKH. This includes 8 active nests on the road verge adjacent to CKH managed by Highways England. Useful information has been gained through close observation of the ants nesting, foraging and their nuptial flight behaviour. This combined with habitat studies and nest monitoring has informed the development of nest translocation and introduction techniques. Eleven nests have been translocated from compartment 8 of Chudleigh Knighton Heath to compartments 1, 5 and 3 at CKH and also to Bovey Heathfield and Teigngrace Meadow, all these sites are Devon Wildlife Trust nature reserves. The results so far have shown limited success with these translocations with only 2 currently active. An alternative method of introducing queenless nests to other sites then releasing mated queens at these in July has been investigated. Results from this are inconclusive at the moment but with refinement this may be a good method of introducing the ant to other sites.

Received: 2012.12.29; Accepted: 2013.02.21; Published: 2013.03.22 Abstract Undertaking behavior is an essential adaptation to social life that is critical for colony hygiene in enclosed nests. Social insects dispose of dead individuals in various fashions to prevent further contact between corpses and living members in a colony. Focusing on three groups of eusocial insects (bees, ants, and termites) in two phylogenetically distant orders (Hymenoptera and Isoptera), we review mechanisms of death recognition, convergent and divergent behavioral re- sponses toward dead individuals, and undertaking task allocation from the perspective of division of labor. Distinctly different solutions (e.g., corpse removal, burial and cannibalism) have evolved, independently, in the holometabolous hymenopterans and hemimetabolous isopterans toward the same problem of corpse management. In addition, issues which can lead to a better understanding of the roles that undertaking behavior has played in the evolution of eusociality are discussed.

    No Impact on Queen Turnover, Inbreeding, and Population Genetic Differentiation in the Ant Formica Selysi

    Evolution, 58(5), 2004, pp. 1064±1072 VARIABLE QUEEN NUMBER IN ANT COLONIES: NO IMPACT ON QUEEN TURNOVER, INBREEDING, AND POPULATION GENETIC DIFFERENTIATION IN THE ANT FORMICA SELYSI MICHEL CHAPUISAT,1 SAMUEL BOCHERENS, AND HERVEÂ ROSSET Department of Ecology and Evolution, Biology Building, University of Lausanne, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland 1E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Variation in queen number alters the genetic structure of social insect colonies, which in turn affects patterns of kin-selected con¯ict and cooperation. Theory suggests that shifts from single- to multiple-queen colonies are often associated with other changes in the breeding system, such as higher queen turnover, more local mating, and restricted dispersal. These changes may restrict gene ¯ow between the two types of colonies and it has been suggested that this might ultimately lead to sympatric speciation. We performed a detailed microsatellite analysis of a large population of the ant Formica selysi, which revealed extensive variation in social structure, with 71 colonies headed by a single queen and 41 by multiple queens. This polymorphism in social structure appeared stable over time, since little change in the number of queens per colony was detected over a ®ve-year period. Apart from queen number, single- and multiple-queen colonies had very similar breeding systems. Queen turnover was absent or very low in both types of colonies. Single- and multiple-queen colonies exhibited very small but signi®cant levels of inbreeding, which indicates a slight deviation from random mating at a local scale and suggests that a small proportion of queens mate with related males.

SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 552 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs'submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

The thesis has not been submitted in parts or in full for a degree to any other University. Chloe A. Raderschall, September 2015 III IV Acknowledgements The work towards this thesis would not have been possible without the guidance, support and friendship of a number of people. First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisors Ajay Narendra and Jochen Zeil for sharing their enthusiasm to understand insect navigation and for their guidance during all aspects of my research. Ajay especially I would like to thank for initially sparking my interest in myrmecology by introducing me to the fascinating world of ants during many photo excursions around Canberra. Being able to appreciate these little critters and to learn about each of their peculiarities is a wonderful gift that I hope to be able to share with many more people in the future. W illi Ribi I would like to thank for all his technical assistance and knowledge during my histological work.
