Origins of Aminergic Regulation of Behavior in Complex Insect Social Systems.

Frontiers in systems neuroscience

Kamhi JF, Arganda S, Moreau CS, Traniello JFA.
PMID: 29066958
Front Syst Neurosci. 2017 Oct 10;11:74. doi: 10.3389/fnsys.2017.00074. eCollection 2017.

Neuromodulators are conserved across insect taxa, but how biogenic amines and their receptors in ancestral solitary forms have been co-opted to control behaviors in derived socially complex species is largely unknown. Here we explore patterns associated with the functions...

Age, worksite location, neuromodulators, and task performance in the ant .

Behavioral ecology and sociobiology

Giraldo YM, Rusakov A, Diloreto A, Kordek A, Traniello JF.
PMID: 28042198
Behav Ecol Sociobiol. 2016 Sep;70(9):1441-1455. doi: 10.1007/s00265-016-2153-8. Epub 2016 Jun 02.

Social insect workers modify task performance according to age-related schedules of behavioral development, and/or changing colony labor requirements based on flexible responses that may be independent of age. Using known-age minor workers of the ant

Chemical communication in the primitive antAneuretus simoni: The role of the sternal and pygidial glands.

Journal of chemical ecology

Traniello JF, Jayasuriya AK.
PMID: 24420827
J Chem Ecol. 1981 Nov;7(6):1023-33. doi: 10.1007/BF00987624.

Trail and alarm communication inAneuretus simoni are mediated by the secretions of the sternal and pygidial glands, respectively. The sternal gland is composed of a glandular epithelium and an associated reservoir located in the 7th sternum. This gland produces...

Division of labour in a lower termite: the majority of tasks are performed by older workers.

Animal behaviour

Crosland MWJ, Lok CM, Wong TC, Shakarad M, Traniello JFA.
PMID: 9344452
Anim Behav. 1997 Oct;54(4):999-1012. doi: 10.1006/anbe.1997.0509.

Division of labour among workers was investigated in the lower termite, Reticulitermes fukienensisWorkers were separated into three age groups based on size, small workers being the youngest, medium workers intermediate and large workers the oldest. Workers were then compared...

Caste in a primitive ant: absence of age polyethism in amblyopone.

Science (New York, N.Y.)

Traniello JF.
PMID: 17807252
Science. 1978 Nov 17;202(4369):770-2. doi: 10.1126/science.202.4369.770.

Polyethism, the divison of labor among members of a colony, is based on worker age and size in ants. In the ponerine species Amblyopone pallipes worker behavior is independent of age, therefore temporal castes, or groups of age-related task...

Social organization and foraging success in Lasius neoniger (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): behavioral and ecological aspects of recruitment communication.

Oecologia

Traniello JF.
PMID: 25024155
Oecologia. 1983 Aug;59(1):94-100. doi: 10.1007/BF00388080. Epub 2004 Sep 13.

Live, moribund, or dead arthropods are gathered by Lasius neoniger through individual and social retrieval. 85% of the total biomass of prey (fresh weight) in the diet is cooperatively retrieved by groups of workers. Short-and long-range chemical recruitment signals...

Undergraduate behavioral biologists keep science careers in focus through pandemic challenges-but need support.

Eusociality and Senescence: Neuroprotection and Physiological Resilience to Aging in Insect and Mammalian Systems.

Frontiers in cell and developmental biology

Giraldo YM, Muscedere ML, Traniello JFA.
PMID: 34211973
Front Cell Dev Biol. 2021 Jun 15;9:673172. doi: 10.3389/fcell.2021.673172. eCollection 2021.

Are eusociality and extraordinary aging polyphenisms evolutionarily coupled? The remarkable disparity in longevity between social insect queens and sterile workers-decades vs. months, respectively-has long been recognized. In mammals, the lifespan of eusocial naked mole rats is extremely long-roughly 10...

Disease risk as a cost of outbreeding in the termite Zootermopsis angusticollis.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Rosengaus RB, Traniello JF.
PMID: 11607413
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1993 Jul 15;90(14):6641-5. doi: 10.1073/pnas.90.14.6641.

The effect of the sibship of primary reproductives on mate mortality and the survivorship and growth of incipient colonies was studied in the dampwood termite Zootermopsis angusticollis. Males and females paired with nonsibling mates had higher mortality during the...

Behavioral bioassays of termite trail pheromones : Recruitment and orientation effects of cembrene-A inNasutitermes costalis (Isoptera: Termitidae) and discussion of factors affecting termite response in experimental contexts.

Journal of chemical ecology

Hall P, Traniello JF.
PMID: 24311243
J Chem Ecol. 1985 Nov;11(11):1503-13. doi: 10.1007/BF01012196.

The monocyclic 14-membered ring diterpene, cembrene-A, previously identified as a nasutitermitine trail pheromone, was tested for its effectiveness as a trail pheromone inNasutitermes costalis. Artificial trails prepared from serial dilutions of racemic cembrene-A over a concentration range of 10(-1)-10(-6)...

Chemical communication during tandem running inPachycondyla obscuricornis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).

Journal of chemical ecology

Traniello JF, Hölldobler B.
PMID: 24318740
J Chem Ecol. 1984 May;10(5):783-94. doi: 10.1007/BF00988543.

Communication during tandem running inPachycondyla obscuricornis is chemically mediated by a pheromone produced in the pygidial gland, which is composed of a cluster of gland cells and an associated reservoir located beween the 6th and 7th tergites of the...
