Leonardoxa africana is an understory tree of the coastal rainforestsof Cameroon that provides food (extrafloral nectar) and nest sites (swollen, hollowed internodes) for ants. Only two host-specific species of ants inhabit this tree. The present study showed that their distributions were mutually ...
One dramatic example involves fungal species from the genus Ophiocordyceps that control their ant hosts by inducing a biting behavior. Intensive sampling across the globe of ants that died after being manipulated by Ophiocordyceps suggests that this phenomenon is highly species-specific. We advance our...
Exon-shuffled constructs between mouse (IA beta b) and human (DR3 beta) class II beta chains were made to study the interaction sites between CD4 and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules, and to determine whether a species barrier is involved. The overall structure and the...
Species-specific influence of group composition on collective behaviors in ants 来自 掌桥科研 喜欢 0 阅读量: 21 作者:AP Modlmeier,CN Keiser,TA Shearer,JN Pruitt 摘要: The success of a social group is often driven by its collective characteristics and the traits of its individuals. Thus, ...
Identifying homology between sex chromosomes of different species is essential to understanding the evolution of sex determination. Here, we show that the identity of a homomorphic sex chromosome pair can be established using a linkage map, without information on offspring sex. By comparing sex-specif...

In homospecific groups of ants, each species has its own hydrocarbon profile, on the epicuticle and in the postpharyngeal gland (PPG). When reared together in bispecific groups, workers of both species possess each other's hydrocarbons in both locations. The present study investigated two alterna...
Therefore, the epicuticular coatings of Macaranga myrmecophytes appear to have a selective function and protect the associated ants against competitors. The epicuticular aggregates function as a physical barrier; no evidence of chemical repellence was found. The extent to which 'foreign' ant spe...
