Insect Queens Sterilize Workers With Chemicals Escrito por Claudia Bringas Reyes viernes, 17 de enero de 2014 17 de enero de 2014, 17:51 Washington, Jan 17 (Prensa Latina) European scientists identified the chemicals released by queen ants, bees and wasps to quash the reproduction of their workers. Experts suggest that insects may have been using the chemicals to signal fertility for roughly 150 million years, These chemical signals, called pheromones, are thought to make workers infertile. Studying how these pheromones evolved could provide a window onto how social insects developed their cooperative living system, the journal Science reported. sgl/cbr/pgh/abm Modificado el ( viernes, 17 de enero de 2014 ) Cerrar ventana 20/01/2014 12:00
