Popis: | International audience; Nestmate recognition is a common phenomenon insocial insects that typically is mediated by cuticular hydrocarbons.Geographical variation in cuticular hydrocarbons hasbeen observed, although the pattern of variation is not consistentacross species and is usually related to the biology andecology of the different species. Polistes biglumis(Hymenoptera: Vespidae) is a social wasp that lives in highmountains where populations are separated by significantgeographical barriers. Here we investigated the level of chemicalvariation among populations of P. biglumis in the Alps,and shed light on the phylogeography of this species.Populations could be discriminated bymeans of their cuticularhydrocarbon profiles, which showed a pattern consistent withthe isolation-by-distance hypothesis. Molecular datahighlighted two areas with different levels of haplotype diversity,although all wasps belonged to the same species. Theseresults suggest that the populations of P. biglumis in the Alpsare geographically isolated from one another, favoring theirgenetic and chemical differentiation. |
