中华蜜蜂急造王台的工蜂亲属优惠 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
人为使3群中华蜜蜂(Apis cerana cerana)失王而出现急造王台后,应用3个蜜蜂微卫星位点A14、A107和B124对蜂群、急造王台中的幼虫及其哺育蜂的亚家庭进行鉴别,以此来研究中华蜜蜂急造王台的工蜂亲属优惠.结果显示:在3个实验蜂群Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ中分别检测到11、13和14个亚家庭,各蜂群各亚家庭之间的工蜂分布差异不显著.然而各蜂群中急造王台却分别只出现在少数的3、4和5个亚家庭中,各亚家庭之间在王台出现率上存在极显著的差异.另外,各急造王台的所有哺育蜂并非只来自幼虫所在的亚家庭,而是分布在更多的亚家庭里,并且各亚家庭之间差异不显著.以上结果证明:中华蜜蜂急造王台时,在蜂王幼虫的选择过程中存在工蜂亲属优惠行为,但蜂王幼虫与它们的哺育工蜂之间并不存在工蜂亲属优惠 相似文献

以3群中华蜜蜂Apiscerana cerana Fabricius为材料,研究自然分蜂中的亲属优惠行为。分蜂开始后,分别对参与分蜂的工蜂和留在原巢内的工蜂随机取样,用95%酒精保存待用。取下所有王台,放入培养箱中培养出房,每30min观察1次,记录处女王的出房顺序。运用3个MRJP(major royal jelly protein)标记分析蜂群的亲缘关系和亚家系组成。3群实验蜂群分别由13,12和9个亚家系组成。分蜂过程中,王台的全同胞姐妹工蜂绝大多数都选择留在原巢内,说明工蜂能够辨认出全同胞姐妹王台,并且给予优惠。参与分蜂的工蜂和留在原巢内的工蜂间亚家系分布差异极显著,说明一些亚家系分蜂性更强,而另一些亚家系分蜂性较弱。实验首次运用MRJP分子标记技术证明:在自然分蜂过程中,工蜂和王台之间存在亲属优惠行为,并且这种优惠行为可能会刺激其它工蜂产生分蜂趋向性。 相似文献

蜜蜂Apis mellifera L.蜂群中的工蜂卵巢发育和工蜂产卵现象受多种因素控制,了解其影响因素对养蜂生产具有重要意义。本研究将意大利蜜蜂蜂群设置为囚王群(tg1)、无王有子群(tg2)、无王无子群(tg3)以及正常有王蜂群(CK)4个试验组,通过对工蜂卵巢管的显微观察,确定不同处理组工蜂在不同时间段内卵巢的发育情况。结果表明:随着时间的延长,与CK处理组相比,tg3处理组中的工蜂卵巢发育水平最高,tg2次之,tg1最低;在31d时,4个处理组两两之间差异均达到显著水平(P<0.05)。tg1、tg2和tg3处理组中工蜂产卵前期时间分别为35、22和17d,而CK蜂群在试验期内未出现工蜂产卵现象;tg2和tg3处理组的工蜂产卵的封盖前期时间分别为8和6d,而tg1和CK组在试验期内未出现子房封盖现象。蜂群失王时间过长会刺激工蜂卵巢发育,并导致其产卵;蜂群的短期失王和蜂王老化也会刺激工蜂卵巢发育,但是刺激程度较低;蜂群中的蜂子能抑制工蜂卵巢管的发育,因此在蜂群短时间失王时可以适当地补充子脾延缓工蜂卵巢发育。 相似文献

蜜蜂是营群体生活的昆虫。一个蜜蜂群体实际上是一个家庭,由一个母亲(蜂王)、几个父亲(雄蜂、交配后死亡)和它的后代(工蜂和雄蜂)组成。初看起来它们的关系很简单,但由于蜂王的交配方式不同,蜂王可以产受精卵和未受精卵,而且蜜蜂还存在着单倍、二倍性,蜜蜂家庭中蜜蜂个体的关系却相当复杂。认识一个蜂群中可能存在的关系,有助于了解蜂群的遗传组成,对于蜜蜂遗传育种有重要意义。近几十年来,经过各国蜜蜂遗传育种学家的不断努力,才逐渐搞清楚蜂群中蜜蜂个体的关系。为了说明这个问题,这里简单介绍一下蜜蜂的细胞学、蜜蜂卵子和精子的发生以及蜂王的交配方式。蜜蜂的细胞学对大多数动物来说,一个新生命是由一个精细胞和一个卵细胞结合而来。每种性细胞各含有一组染色体,因而给予新的个体两组染色体,称为二倍体数。蜂王和工蜂是雌性蜜蜂,它 相似文献

Summary The number and frequencies of subfamilies in a honey bee colony were determined by DNA fingerprinting. Queen and brood samples were taken from three colonies with artificially inseminated queens and from one colony with a naturally mated queen. UsingHae III restriction enzyme and (GATA)4 oligonucleotide, the number of subfamilies in the colonies with artificially inseminated queens corresponded with the number of drones used for insemination. In the colony with the naturally mated queen, 12 subfamilies were found in a random sample of 104 workers. Considering that subfamily frequencies range from 1 to 26%, introcolonial worker relationship was estimated to be 0.328, corresponding to a genetical effective number of 6.4 matings. 相似文献

Honeybees have evolved numerous mechanisms for increasing colony-level foraging efficiency, mainly the combined system of scout-recruit division of labour and recruitment communication. A successful forager performs waggle dances on the surface of the comb where it interacts with nectar receivers and dance followers. A forager uses tremble dance when it experiences difficulty finding a receiver bee to unload food upon return to the hive. A bee colony containing numerous subfamilies may increase its efficiency in dance communication if dances are realized by particular groups of specialized individuals or subfamilies rather than by undifferentiated workers. In this study, we determined the subfamily frequencies of waggle and tremble dancers in a colony headed by a naturally mated queen, where the 17 subfamilies can be identified by microsatellite genetic markers. Our results demonstrate that a genetic component is associated with the dance communication in honeybees. More than half of the waggle dances and the tremble dances were performed by workers from only four subfamilies in each case. 相似文献

Intra-colonial variation of the sting extension response in the honey bee Apis mellifera 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The workers’ sting extension in response to noxious stimulations is a common test used to study physiological modulations
of behaviour in the honey bee. In this study, we investigated the variation of the sting extension response between honey
bee workers from different patrilines in a colony with a naturally mated queen. We found that the sting extension response
varied according to patrilines, indicating a genetic contribution to the intra-colonial variation of this behaviour. Patrilines
differed in their responses during successive stimulations applied at a constant level: bees belonging to some patrilines
exhibited a constant level of response during repeated stimulations, while others showed a decreasing response under the same
conditions. These results fit well with the models of division of labour based on differences in response thresholds among
workers of different subfamilies.

Polyandry in honeybee queens (Apis) causes many patrilines (subfamilies) within a colony, which may lead to a potential conflict of interest among workers.
This may be most apparent during queen rearing when nepotistic worker behavior could influence the genetics of future generations.
Several studies have searched for such conflict in European honeybees (A. mellifera), but studies on other Apis species remain lacking. We investigated the presence of reproductive conflict in A. cerana japonica by comparing the patriline proportion of queen larvae to that of adult workers. We determined the patrilines of 272 workers
and 57 queen larvae using four polymorphic microsatellite markers that were sampled from queenless colonies originally derived
from four naturally mated queen-right colonies. The number of patrilines in each colony was 9, 12, 8, and 7, respectively,
which is lower than that observed in continental Asia. We found no difference in patriline proportion between adult workers
and queen larvae. Our data support neither genetic variance for royalty or existence of worker nepotism in A. cerana japonica. 相似文献

Polyandry in Honey Bees (APIS MELLIFERA L.): Sperm Utilization and Intracolony Genetic Relationships

Sperm usage by queen honey bees was examined by progeny analyses using six phenotypically distinct genetic markers. No evidence was found for sperm displacement or precedence. All queens used the sperm of all males that inseminated them during all sampling periods. Sperm usage, as measured by phenotypic frequencies, did fluctuate nonrandomly but did not result in abnormally high representation of a single phenotype or the elimination of other phenotypes as has often been suggested. The genetic relationships of workers within honey bee colonies are estimated from the data presented. Average genetic relatedness is shown to be low among colony nestmates and probably approaches 0.25 in colonies with naturally mated queens. There is no evidence for elevated relatedness among colony subfamilies due to nonrandom fluctuations in sperm usage by queens or for numerical dominance of any subfamilies. 相似文献

Neotropical swarm-founding wasps build nests enclosed in a covering envelope, which makes it difficult to count individual
births and deaths. Thus, knowledge of worker demography is very limited for swarm-founding species compared with that for
independent-founding species. In this study, we explored the worker demography of the swarm-founding wasp Polybia paulista, the colony size of which usually exceeds several thousand adults. We considered each wasp colony as an open-population and
estimated the survival probability, recruitment rate, and population size of workers using the developments of the Cormack–Jolly–Seber
model. We found that capture probability varied considerably among the workers, probably due to age polyethism and/or task
specialization. The daily survival rate of workers was high (around 0.97) throughout the season and was not related to the
phase of colony development. On the other hand, the recruitment rate ranged from 0 to 0.37, suggesting that worker production
was substantially less important than worker survival in determining worker population fluctuations. When we compared survival
rates among worker groups of one colony, the mean daily survival rate was lower for founding workers than for progeny workers
and tended to be higher in progeny workers that emerged in winter. These differences in survivorship patterns among worker
cohorts would be related to worker foraging activity and/or level of parasitism. 相似文献

The overwintering temperatures of ants might well be elevated due to climate change. We studied whether the overwintering temperature affects the survival of the queens and whole colonies of the black garden ant, Lasius niger (Linnaeus, 1758). In two consecutive years (2009, 2010) we collected mated, colony founding queens (n=280) from the urban area of Turku, Finland. Half of the queens overwintered in +7 to +8 °C and the other half in +2 °C. After the overwintering period, we determined their survival rate and measured the body fat content, body size and immune defence (encapsulation rate) of overwintering queens. Using the same setup, we studied the survival of 1-year-old L. niger colonies (queen & workers). Overwintering at a lower temperature (+2 °C) decreased the survival of workers. The survival of colony founding queens differed between years, but unlike with workers, the overwintering temperature did not affect their survival: neither in the colony experiment nor in the single queen experiment. All of the surviving queens managed to produce their worker offspring at the same rate. The relative amount of body fat of queens was higher for those who overwintered at a lower temperature, which is likely a result of lower energy consumption. We did not detect differences in the encapsulation rate between the temperature treatment groups. The ability of colony founding queens to tolerate wide overwintering temperature variations present in urban environments may explain the success of the colony in urban areas. As the colony grows, the overwintering chambers may extend more deeply into the ground. Thus, workers may not have to cope with such cold conditions as colony founding queens. 相似文献

A total of 280 laboratory colonies of Reticulitermes urbis were raised for 3 years, in order to observe caste differentiation and overall colony growth, and to investigate whether
the initial composition (0, 2 or 4 nymphs; 0, 5, 10, 20 or 50 workers) affected colony survival, population growth and other
colony dynamics. We also wanted to determine the minimum number of individuals needed to establish a vital colony. As a result,
every colony beginning with less than 20 workers died within 60 weeks, while colonies beginning with at least 20 workers survived
until the end of the tests, with varied survival rates dependent upon the initial size and the time of formation (summer or
autumn). The number of nymphs did not affect colony survival and colony growth. Reproductives developed from nymphs within
2 weeks and later from workers. Many of the reproductives derived from nymphs were killed by workers. The majority of the
colonies contained two reproductives 3 years after initiating the tests. In addition, a few individual workers were still
alive at the end of the 3-year tests. At the end of the tests, the proportion of soldiers ranged anywhere from 5.23 to 7.69%
of the total population. The number of viable “juveniles” from each colony was relatively low throughout the tests and the
overall population growth was not sufficient enough to replace dead workers or increase the colony size considerably. These
results indicate that the potential to establish viable and sustainable colonies for groups of R. urbis composed of 5–50 workers is very low. 相似文献

The relationship between workers from different patrilines in a naturally mated queen honey bee colony is very complex due to queen polyandry, and still poorly characterized. Here, we report a means of determining the genotype of living workers in a natural honey bee colony by a new non-destructive method, which makes it possible to observe the relationship between behaviours and genotypes. DNA was extracted from the exuvia, found at the bottom of each brood cell, and confirmed to be identical to the DNA extracted from the thorax muscle of the bee emerging from that particular cell. The genotypes were thus determined using DNA from the exuviae without having to hurt or kill the organisms. The emerging workers were marked with coloured, numbered tags to enable behavioural observations over their entire life. Using this new method, we determined 20 patrilines in a naturally mated queen colony, and discovered that the patriline composition of bees exhibiting fanning behaviour was significantly different from the patriline composition of the whole colony. Our results confirm that the genetic structure of a natural insect society plays a fundamental role in the division of labour. The new non-destructive method reveals a novel avenue for the determination of relationships between the behaviours and genes of social insects. 相似文献
