“…This variation is likely important for chemical communication among nestmates, as these cues permit wasps to identify which tasks individuals are performing, thus avoiding overlap in worker task performance during colony development (Blomquist et al, 1987). A relationship between CHC profiles and age polyethism has been reported for several social insects in addition to P. occidentalis, including honeybees and ants, in which different chemical profiles distinguish between functional worker castes (Martin and Drijfhout, 2009;Ferreira-Caliman et al, 2010;Kather et al, 2011;Valadares and Nascimento, 2016;Balbuena et al, 2018).…”

“…Furthermore, JH also appears to be involved in regulating pheromone production, such as the cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles of queens and workers (Robinson and Vargo, 1997;Oliveira et al, 2017). CHCs provide nestmates with important information on an individual's caste, reproductive status and functional role in the colony (Singer and Espelie, 1992;Dani et al, 2001;Dapporto et al, 2004;Izzo et al, 2010;Ferreira-Caliman et al, 2010;Oi et al, 2015a;Kather and Martin, 2015;Valadares and Nascimento, 2016;Santos et al, 2018;reviewed in Antonialli-Junior et al, 2021). In primitively eusocial wasps, the CHC profiles of workers are linked to both JH titer and the individual's behavioral role (Sledge et al, 2004;Tibbetts and Izzo, 2009;Izzo et al, 2010).…”

“…Uno de los factores que deben considerarse en los programas de reforestación forestal con G. arborea es el control fitosanitario para evitar el ataque de plagas o patógenos que reduzcan la productividad del cultivo o aumenten la mortalidad de los individuos, lo que afectaría directamente la calidad y viabilidad económica del cultivo (Maniklal & Yogesh, 2010). Entre las plagas que más afectan a G. arborea se encuentra el defoliador Atta cephalotes, hormiga forrajera generalista que forma colonias de gran tamaño y tiene capacidad de defoliar grandes áreas en poco tiempo (Valadares & Nascimento, 2016), lo que incide directamente en la productividad, la supervivencia y la calidad de los individuos afectados. En los estudios de Bhusal, et al (2019) se ha determinado una disminución del 33 % de la productividad y un aumento del 20 % en la mortalidad en cultivos de Malus domestica debido a la pérdida de área foliar, que genera un estrés fisiológico negativo en el individuo, el cual pierde su capacidad fotosintética obligando a que la energía acumulada por el organismo se dedique a la recuperación, con el consecuente estancamiento del crecimiento y la aparición de condiciones críticas que llevan a la muerte de la planta (Valadares, et al, 2015).…”

“…In general, diet is a great source of variation of CHC in insects (Sorvari et al, 2008;Ichinose et al, 2009;Fedina et al 2012;Otte et al, 2015), or represents a direct source of these substances (Liang and Silverman, 2000). In leaf-cutting ants, the CHC profile is subjected to temporal variations according to the type of foliar substrate harvest by the workers (Richard et al, 2004;Lambardi et al, 2004;, and more recently, differences in the CHC composition related to body size of workers have been reported (Valadares and Nascimento, 2016).…”
