Nesting biology and subsociality inCeratina calcarata(Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Abstract: To evaluate sociality in small carpenter bees (Ceratina Latreille), we studied the life history and nesting biology of a common eastern North American species, Ceratina (Zadontomerus) calcarata Robertson. Pan-trap and nest collections throughout the active season (May to September 2006) were used to assess seasonal phenology and nesting biology of C. calcarata in southern Ontario. Adults overwintered in their natal nests. Males emerged in early May and occupied preexisting hollows in twigs and stems. Females e… Show more

“…Physiological traits (e.g. body size, ovary development) and social experience were potentially traits selected to avoid aggressive encounters (Wcislo, 1997;Rehan & Richards, 2010). In some species pheromones seem to play an important role controlling ovary development, making non-dominant females fail in reproduction and become loyal helpers (Dor et al 2005).…”

“…Adicionalmente, existiría una correlación entre un cambio climático con aumento de temperatura y los orígenes independientes de eusociabilidad en linajes de esta familia (Bradly et al 2006). Por otra parte, la disponibilidad de sustratos de nidifi cación también podría ser una condición asociada a la emergencia de sociabilidad, pues se ha observado reversiones a la nidifi cación solitaria en especies que no reutilizan el mismo nido (Rehan & Richards 2010). Finalmente, rasgos de historia de vida como dispersión de individuos desde sus nidos parentales y ciclos de colonias univoltinas, limitan la sobreposición de generaciones y el cuidado cooperativo de la progenie (Rehan et al 2012 (Daly et al 1987, Michener 2007 y no presenta especies eusociales cercanamente emparentadas.…”

“…All ceratinines studied to date are subsocial (sensu Michener, 1969;Wilson, 1971;Tallamy and Wood, 1986), with prolonged maternal care and mother-offspring interactions (Sakagami and Maeta, 1977;Michener, 1990;Rehan et al, 2009;Rehan and Richards, 2010). In addition, some species are socially polymorphic, with both solitary and social nests in the same population (Sakagami and Maeta, 1987;Michener, 1985).…”
