Abstract

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 a relatively long-lived mass recruitment pheromone. The pygidial gland opens between the 6th and 7th tergites and produces a secretion that releases aggressive alarm. The evolution of glandular physiology in the Aneuretinae and Dolichoderinae are discussed in view of these findings.

摘要

西蒙盲蛛的跗节和告警通讯分别由胸腺和臀腺的分泌物介导。胸腺由腺上皮和位于第 7 胸节的相关储器组成，分泌一种相对持久的集结信息素。臀腺开口于第 6 和第 7 个背板之间，分泌释放攻击性告警的分泌物。这些发现使我们可以探讨盲蛛亚科和沟盲蛛亚科腺生理的进化。
