Jan 10, 2022 · In eusocial insect colonies, unlike in vertebrate societies, ranking in a dominance hierarchy is usually associated with individual age rather than body size ([10,31,32], but see also , regarding the effect of body size on dominance status). The effect of individual age on ranking in the dominance hierarchy becomes clear when the birth of individuals during the maintenance phase is taken into ...
age and dominance hierarchy can evolve in social insects depending on their life history characteristics. Materials and methods General assumptions for the models For simplicity, we will investigate the functionally monog ynous situation whereby the most dominant reproductive female, the alpha, monopolizes reproduction. The other
May 18, 2005 · Dominance behavior has an important role in regulating the partitioning of reproduction in many eusocial insects (Pardi 1948; Michener 1974; Heinze 1993).Physical interactions among co-foundress queens result in the domination or monopolization of reproduction by the most dominant queen in many polistine wasps and some ants (e.g., Pardi 1948; Hölldobler and Carlin 1985; Heinze 1993).

dominance behaviours at the formation phase are expected in the latter case, which results in a linear dominance hierar-chy under which the top- or higher-ranked female(s) become(s) the R(s). The dominance hierarchy is then main-tained by dominance behaviours among Rs and NRs (maintenance phase). Dominance behaviours are also
Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy, 2018. Most insect societies can be classified as either primitively or highly eusocial. Primitively eusocial insect societies are usually led by queens who are morphologically indistinguishable from the workers and use aggression to control the workers, thereby typically holding top positions in the colony's dominance hierarchy.

Jan 1, 2008 · Researchers have used the data to predict accurately some cases of the perturbation of sex investment ratios (Trivers and Hare 1976, Bourke and Franks 1995), as well as the moderating effect of pedigree kinship on dominance behavior and policing (Ratnieks et al. 2006, Wenseleers and Ratnieks 2006). For the remainder of insect eusociality, however, the theory has contributed little or nothing ...
