A Simpler Way to Organize Society: Response to a Risky Stimulus is Related to the Spatial Distribution of the Individuals Within a Spider Colonial Web J. Insect Behav. (IF 1.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-20
Abstract Animals living in social groups often need to conduct certain tasks, such as prey capture or nest maintenance. We might expect individuals to specialize in these tasks, as specialization should increase efficiency and therefore group performance. In groups that vary in sex, morphology, or generation, these factors often determine task participation. However, in social groups where these factors

Sexual Dimorphism, Deactivation of Plant Defense, and Attraction of Conspecifics in the Four-Eyed Red Milkweed Beetle (Tetraopes tetrophthalmus) J. Insect Behav. (IF 1.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-15
Abstract Herbivorous insects frequently exhibit sexual dimorphism in body size and a variety of other traits. Such differences often lead to distinct behaviors, which may present themselves in insect responses to conspecifics, plant defenses, and feeding. Based on a previous study of a congeneric species, we hypothesized that sexual dimorphism may yield differences in how the host-specific red milkweed

Classical conditioning has been well studied in social Hymenoptera, exploring how members of a colony gain foraging benefits from learning to associate various stimuli. While some of this work has been extended into Blattodea, learning in eusocial termite societies has not been well documented. Termites mainly rely on chemical cues for feeding; thus, they would be predicted to associate odor with food

Since predation is a strong selection pressure on prey, the later have evolved a variety of anti-predator behavior. Death-feigning is thought as one of anti-predator behaviors to escape from predation by temporarily stopping movement and appearing to be dead. Previous studies have shown that the duration and frequency of death-feigning varies with temperature. Body color may also affect those parameters

The small cockroach Attaphila paucisetosa, a myrmecophilic species, was recently reported in nests of the leafcutter ant Atta cephalotes in Southwestern Colombia. We carried out both behavioral bioassays and field observations to learn more about this cockroach-myrmecophilous association. When we excavated the nests of A. cephalotes did not found cockroaches out of the anthills. We collected all lifecycle

Social insects have high levels of cooperation and division of labor. In bumble bees this is partly size-based, with larger bees performing tasks outside the nest and smaller bees remaining inside, although bumble bees still display considerable behavioral plasticity. The level of specialization in tasks outside the colony, including foraging, guarding and drifting (entering a foreign colony), is currently

Mating frequency of female false codling moth, Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): trade-off between fecundity and longevity J. Insect Behav. (IF 1.0) Pub Date : 2022-01-14 Abdelmutalab G. A. Azrag, Shepard Ndlela, Abdullah M. Mkiga, Samira Abuelgasim Mohamed
Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a polyphagous insect pest native to sub-Saharan Africa. The larvae burrow into the fruit and feed on the pulp, thus inflicting huge direct (yield) and indirect losses (markets). Nevertheless, little is known about the mating frequency, behavior, and trade-off between fecundity and longevity of this pest. Therefore, this study aimed to

The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera:Liviidae), vector of huanglongbing disease, displays a high degree of color polyphenism. In the adult stage, ACP exhibits abdominal colors that can be separated into three color groupings: blue-green, grey-brown and orange-yellow. Color morphology has been shown to influence important and energetically costly psyllid life traits including reproduction

Behavior of the Avian Parasite Philornis downsi (Diptera: Muscidae) in and Near Host Nests in the Galapagos Islands J. Insect Behav. (IF 1.0) Pub Date : 2021-11-17 Courtney L. Pike, Ismael E. Ramirez, David J. Anchundia, Birgit Fessl, George E. Heimpel, Charlotte E. Causton
The Avian Vampire Fly, Philornis downsi, has invaded the Galapagos Islands, where it causes high mortality of endemic and native landbird species, including most species of Darwin’s finches. Control methods are under development, but key information is missing about the reproductive biology of P. downsi and the behavior of flies in and near nests of their hosts. We used external and internal nest cameras
