Nest plundering allomones of the fire bee Trigona (Oxytrigona) mellicolor

Ten volatile compounds derived from the cephalic glands of the fire-bee Trigona (Oxytrigona) mellicolor were bioassayed for possible allomonal activities facilitating nest plundering. Two diketones, (E)-3-heptene-2,5-dione and (E)-3-nonene-2,5-dione, caused the honeybee Apis mellifera to display avo...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Ten volatile compounds derived from the cephalic glands of the fire-bee Trigona (Oxytrigona) mellicolor were bioassayed for possible allomonal activities facilitating nest plundering. Two diketones, (E)-3-heptene-2,5-dione and (E)-3-nonene-2,5-dione, caused the honeybee Apis mellifera to display avoidance behavior and reduced defensive behavior. These diketones are produced in relatively large quantities in fire-bee cephalic glands.
