- 〔Major achievements〕Nepotistic colony fission in dense colony aggregations of an Australian paper wasp
Koji Tsuchida; Norio Ishiguro; Fuki Saito-Morooka; Jun-ichi Kojima & Philip Spradbery, Abstract
Social insects are highly diverse in their social structures, aside from the consistent presence of reproductive castes. Among social insects, the Australian paper wasp Ropalidia plebeiana constructs extremely dense colony aggregations consisting of hundreds of colonies within a few square meters; however, little is known about the aggregation structures. We genetically analyzed the colony and population structure of R. plebeiana, and concomitant variations in colony sex ratios. In spring, the foundress (candidate queen) group started their colonies on a single old comb from the previous season, subsequently dividing these old combs via relatedness-based comb-cutting. Female philopatry, a prerequisite condition of Local Resource Competition (LRC), was confirmed. The colony sex ratio of reproductive individuals (male and female offspring for the next generation) became slightly male-biased in larger colonies, as predicted under LRC. However, the number of foundresses was positively associated with the number of reproductive individuals, suggesting that Local Resource Enhancement (LRE) also operates. Although the population structure appears to meet the prerequisites of LRC, the sex ratio appears to be modulated by factors other than LRC. Rather, through LRE, the availability of female helpers at the founding stage is likely to mitigate the sex ratios predicted under LRC., Springer Science and Business Media LLC

早坂大亮; 鈴木一隆; 是永知子; 諸岡(斎藤)歩希; 野村拓志; 深澤圭太; Francisco Sanchez-Bayo; 五箇公一, The effects of two successive annual treatments of imidacloprid and fipronil on dragonfly nymph communities, which are one of the best-known bioindicators in Japanese agroecosystems, were monitored in experimental paddies. The abundance of dragonfly nymphs was lower in both insecticides-treated fields than it was in the controls, particularly following fipronil treatments. Residues of both insecticides were found in the soil throughout the two years, and imidacloprid persisted in water up to three months following each treatment. A Principal Response Curve analysis (PRC) showed that the second annual treatments caused greater structural changes in dragonfly nymph communities than the initial treatments caused, particularly for fipronil. The community structures continued to change even after the insecticides dissipated from the water. This suggests that ecological impacts, and therefore risks, of imidacloprid and fipronil on dragonfly nymph communities depend more on soil residues than they do on waterborne residues. As expected, susceptibility of dragonfly nymphs to these two insecticides differed among species., Pesticide Science Society of Japan
