社会性昆虫的复杂行为一直是动物行为学研究领域的热点之一。通过等级分化和劳动分工合

因此,文章就社会性昆虫的行为及其神经传导、内分泌调节及遗传控制的调控机制进行简要综述。 |

Abstract: |
The complex behavior of social insects have been one of the focus attention on the field of animal
behavior research. By means of caste differentiation and division of labor, social insects have occupied a favorable
position in the evolution of nature. At the same time, the characteristics of the short reproductive cycle, high production rate, and relative simple physiological mechanisms to higher animals, which make them become a model
for studying social behavior insects. However, the physiological and genetic mechanisms of social insect behavior
have not been fully elucidated. The discovery of mechanism of this behavior would not only improve the efficiency of human society to use the beneficial insects for the development of economic, society and the health of
ecology, but also provide basic theory for the exploit of newly behavioral regulator for the management of forestry
pests such as Odontotermes formosanus, Coptotermes formosanus and Solenopsis invicta, etc. Therefore, this
article summarizes the behavior of social insects, their nerve conduction, endocrine regulation and genetic basis,with a view to providing the reference for related research. |
