Welcome
The Australian Section welcomes you to the Union’s 17th Congress. This
is going to be a fabulous conference in a wonderful place.
The program reflects the diversity of current social insect research: taxa,
questions and approaches. I’m sure that every delegate will find that
there is much of interest in the program: more than they can possibly
attend. My advice if there is a choice, go to the talk you know least
about!
We’ve decided to dispense with an abstract book. The abstracts are
available on line, and have been permanently archived at the University
of Sydney Library, where you (and anyone else) can access them any time
for eternity. We hope that this will bring greater exposure to our work,
reduce costs and make it easier to find things. It will make your bag much
lighter on the way home.
Australia is a mega-diverse country. Temperate Tasmania feels a bit like
parts of north England – with immigrants to match. Blink in Darwin and
you might think you were in South East Asia without the crowds. In
between you’ll find unique Australian landscapes including our infamous
‘deserts’, which are actually full of life if you care to look. Here in Cairns
you are adjacent to two of the world’s great wonders: the Queensland
wet tropics, and the world’s largest living thing, the Great Barrier Reef.
Try to visit both, you won’t regret it.
Do try to explore Australia further afield. People may be hard to
understand, but they are friendly and genuinely interested in overseas
visitors. Australia is very safe. If you stay out of the water there are
no large predators, the roads are good, the traffic is light. You can
confidently explore on your own.
The organizing committee comprises Prof Ben Oldroyd (president) and
Prof Madeleine Beekman (secretary/treasurer), Prof Simon Robson,
Dr Judith Reinhard and Dr Lori Larch. Feel free to talk to or email us
about any questions you may have. We have been ably assisted by our
professional event organisers ICMS Australia. A big thank you in particular
to Jodie Doyle, Anne Binegas-Small and Emma Bowyer.
Enjoy your conference, enjoy Australia.

The Foundation was established to work
towards optimum honeybee health, and
to support the beekeeping industry, which
is vital for food security, because of the
essential pollination services provided by
bees.
Globally, one in every three bites of food
is dependent on pollination by bees; in
Australia two thirds of our agricultural
output benefits from honeybee pollination.
However, bees are under threat from
the global spread of diseases, reduced
availability of floral resources, use of
agricultural chemicals and a declining
beekeeping industry.
The Foundation raises money to help
fund research projects that address these
issues, and it also works to increasing public
awareness of the importance of bees for
food security.

Molecules, environment and developmental canalisation: the latter-day
lessons from honeybee epigenomics
In purely biochemical terms, epigenomics deals with various types of chemical ‘decorations’
such as DNA methylation or abundant chromatin protein modifications that provide
instructions about the proper location and timing of selective gene activation. These
modifications may last through cell divisions for the duration of the cell’s life, but may also
persist through generations even though they do not involve changes in the underlying DNA
sequence of the organism. At the core of modern epigenetics are extensive efforts to map
genome-wide profiles of tissue-specific epigenomic alterations and to understand their
mechanistic involvement in context-dependent gene expression1-3. This vast field, driven by a
deluge of raw sequencing data is revealing a very complex portrait of epigenomic dynamics
operating at multiple levels, interacting with each other and remaining in a constant flux.
We and others3 have recently discussed this multifaceted and versatile regulatory network
in the context of an epigenetic code as a prime driver of organismal complexity, robustness,
plasticity and disease development. We proposed that by providing organisms with a
large repertoire of alternative functional interactions, the epigenetic code increases their
adaptability to unforeseen environments3.
But how do we evaluate what these chemical modifications mean in a functional context?
How is environment linked to the genome and how are external cues translated into cellular
responses via epigenomic changes? When do these changes go above threshold and guide
organisms into another direction, such as an alternate developmental trajectory? How does
malfunctioning of epigenetic mechanisms result in diseases? To what extent do sequence
variants such as single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) affect epigenomic marks?
This is an area in which excellent progress can be made using the honeybee, Apis mellifera,
an emerging and valuable system to investigate epigenomes and their role in the interplay
with cellular signalling, adult differentiation and behaviour1-6. Worker bees use an
environmental cue (royal jelly) to de-canalise female larval development in order to generate
two contrasting organismal outcomes; one fertile, long-lived with a large body mass
(queen), the other one sterile, short-lived with lower body mass and phenotype-specific
13
organs (worker)1-4. This attractive example of developmental flexibility nicely illustrates
how environmental factors can control an organism’s genetic hardware to yield contextdependent outcomes, both anticipated and detrimental. Our progress in delineating the role
of epigenetic mechanisms in controlling these conditional phenotypes has already provided
important clues to understanding effects of diet and environment on development3,6 and
predispositions to complex behavioural traits5

The social side of honeybee learning: what it tells us
Chemical communication in honeybees (Apis mellifera) is remarkably
sophisticated and plays a central role in the success and survival
of honeybee colonies. It was discovered relatively recently that some of the chemical
signals (pheromones) used by honeybees modulate the learning behaviour of this highly
social insect. Aversive learning in young worker bees (Apis mellifera), for example, can
be suppressed by pheromones released by the honeybee queen (Vergoz V, Schreurs HA,
14
Mercer AR. (2007) Science 317:384-386), and alarm pheromone released by guard bees
has been shown to inhibit appetitive learning in foragers (Urlacher E, Francés B, Giurfa M,
Devaud J-M (2010) Front Behav Neurosci 4:157). These studies highlight the need for a
better understanding of honeybee learning in a social context. So, what is known about the
mechanisms that support pheromone modulation of learning behaviour in the honeybee?
We know that queen mandibular pheromone (QMP) has a significant impact on dopamine
signaling in the brain of young worker bees; it reduces dopamine levels and influences
both the expression and the function of dopamine receptors in the brain. This is consistent
with a growing body of evidence that dopamine plays a critical role in the formation of
aversive memories in the bee. Interestingly however, effects of QMP on dopamine signaling
and also on aversive learning performance are age dependent. This talk will highlight our
recent attempts to explain why this is so. It will outline what is known about mechanisms
that support pheromone modulation of learning behaviour and it will discuss the possible
adaptive value of social modulation of learning in the bee. Whether a better understanding
of pheromone communication can offer novel insights into the cellular and molecular
mechanisms that underpin learning and memory formation in insects will also be discussed.

Genomic and epigenetic regulation of behavior in primitively eusocial
paper wasps: insights into social evolution
The evolution of eusociality marks one of the major transitions in
evolution and therefore has been of great interest for understanding the genomic changes
that accompany the evolution of complexity. To date, most genomic studies have focused
on highly derived eusocial lineages of bees and ants; one of the goals of my work has been
to embark on studies of genomics in underrepresented, but highly informative groups such
as primitively eusocial wasps. In this talk, I will describe progress on the de novo sequencing
of the genome, transcriptome, and/or methylomes of the primitively eusocial paper wasps
Polistes dominula and Polistes metricus, placed in a comparative context with previous
15
findings from bees and ants. In addition, I will describe the use of field and laboratory
experimental manipulations to identify causal genes and epigenetic factors underlying
paper wasp division of labor. These results will be discussed in light of three non-mutually
exclusive ideas about genomic mechanisms and their influences on the evolution of sociality:
1) the role of deeply conserved genes and pathways in social evolution, 2) the influence of
epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation in the origin maintenance of castes, and
3) the importance of novel genes in the evolution of eusociality.

Vollenhovia emeryi as a new model system: A progress report
Although sex is a powerful invention against malicious mutations and pathogen attacks,
conflicts are provoked by some selfish elements that bias sex ratio. These conflicts and
biases are caused by a pattern of genetic inheritance. It is well known that ploidy determines
sex in Hymenopteran insects. In almost all cases, a diploid egg is achieved by fertilization and
develops into a female while a haploid egg with only the maternal genome develops into
a male. In Vollenhovia emeryi, however, the two sexes have evolved an extremely bizarre
strategy. The queen carries only the maternal genome, while the male carries only the
paternal genome after somehow removing the maternal genome in the fertilized egg - much
like that in Wasmannia auropunctata. The two mutually exclusive selfish genomes then
achieve a dramatic and inevitable reconciliation with each other by producing and exploiting
the worker caste. Along with these selfish genomes, the ant is infected with another selfish
element, the Wolbachia bacterium. On top of this, the bacterium is the host of a lytic
bacteriophage. This complicated relationship has affected every level of evolution, from the
cellular to the organisnistic level. My presentation will focus on 1) an overview of the selfish
systems of the Vollenhovia emeryi, 2) the host ant and its microbial population structures,
3) phylogenetic relationships between the insect host, Wolbachia and the bacteriophage,
and 4) future research directions, and potential applications of knowledge obtained from
studying the ant-Wolbachia system.

Social evolution in termites: A comprehensive approach from ecology to
genomics
Termites evolved complex societies independently from social Hymenoptera. They are 'social
cockroaches' (Infraorder Isoptera), a monophyletic clade nested within Order Blattaria.
This different ancestry is evident in their social organisation. They have ‘both sex’ societies
with workers that are non-adults (larvae, nymphs). Their castes are the result of a unique
range of moulting types, including regressive, pre-soldier and neotenic moults. In termites
two major life styles can be distinguished that differ largely in developmental plasticity and
social complexity: Wood-dwellers nest within a single piece of wood that serves as food
and shelter which the workers never leave to forage outside. By contrast in foraging species
workers sooner or later leave their nest to bring food back to the colony. The former life style
is thought to be ancestral in termites’ evolution and it is associated with totipotent worker
individuals that can explore all caste options.
Using the wood-dweller Cryptotermes secundus (Kalotermitidae) as a model we are studying
ultimate causes and proximate mechanisms underlying social organisation in termites. I will
show how ecological factors interact with relatedness in shaping cooperation in this species
and how the two altruistic castes, workers and soldiers, fundamentally differ in degree of
cooperation and conflict. Among the ecological factors, food availability, colony size and
parasites are major determinants of the degree of cooperation in workers. As all workers are
totipotent to develop into reproductives, conflicts can arise when there is competition over
breeding options. By contrast, the few sterile soldiers of a colony gain indirect fitness and
relatedness plays a crucial role in shaping their interactions.
The second part of the talk will be devoted to endocrine, genetic and chemical mechanisms
underlying division of labour and developmental plasticity in C. secundus. We identified
several genes that are crucial for maintaining the reproductive monopoly with colonies.
Amongst them is vitellogenin (neofem1) but also a Cytochrome P450 gene (neofem4).
Overexpression of the latter is essential for the production the royalty scent, long-chained
cuticular hydrocarbons that prevent workers from developing into reproductives. Our data
suggest that Juvenile Hormone (JH) interacts with the expression of neofem4 and by doing
17
so its expression probably functions as an honest signal of the queen’s fertility. I will further
show first results how JH is crucial in generating the high diversity of moulting types, the
developmental basis of termites’ social evolution. Supplemented with genomic data, across
taxon comparisons will be drawn to show similarities and differences to social Hymenoptera.

Cognition with few neurons: higher-order learning in social insects
Social insects possess miniature brains but exhibit a sophisticated behavioral repertoire.
Species such as the honeybee, and more recently, bumblebees and ants, have emerged as
useful models for the study of simple forms of associative learning due their capacity to
learn elemental, univocal links between olfactory or visual stimuli and appetitive sucrose
reinforcement. Yet, recent works have reported the existence of unsuspected cognitive
capabilities in some social insect species, which cannot be explained in terms of nonunambiguous associative links and which require, therefore, an explanatory level that goes
beyond simple learning. I will review some of these findings, focusing on capabilities such
as attentional modulation, non-elemental pattern discrimination and concept learning,
and discuss their mechanistic bases in an attempt to trace them down to specific circuitries
and neuromodulatory processes in the insect brain. In doing this, I highlight experimental
challenges and suggest future directions for investigating the neurobiology of higherorder learning in insects, with the goal of uncovering basic neural architectures underlying
cognitive processing.

Evolutionary and ecological dynamics in the ant social cancers
Cooperation and conflict are hallmarks of insect societies. While
cooperation is one of the main drivers of the ecological success of social insects, colonies
are always threatened by invasion by exploiters such as conspecific and heterospecific
competitors and social parasites. In addition, genetic mutation can generate cheaters or
freeriders within colonies that exploit the colony’s public goods without paying personal
cost for cooperation. Wherever there is functional integration of smaller units, we find
cheaters and thus the need for mechanisms to prevent the negative effect of cheaters and
freeriders. Just as the immune system protects individual organisms from enemies such
as pathogens and cancer cells, insect societies have mechanisms that protect them from
exploitation. Nest mate recognition limits invasion by non-natals, and policing of selfish
behavior discourages cheating by colony members. These mechanisms can be regarded as
the “social immunity” of superorganisms. But just as the immune system can be overrun
by diseases and cancers, social immunity is imperfect and in nature many insect colonies
are damaged by various kinds of exploiters from the outside and inside. Theoretical studies
on the dynamics between cooperators (producers) and cheaters (exploiters) predict that
over time, cooperators and cheaters will reach an equilibrium. I investigate the dynamics
between cooperators and cheaters using the parthenogenetic ant, Pristomyrmex punctatus.
This species is characterized by an intraspecific lineage of social parasite that reproduces
by parthenogenesis: a “cheater” lineage or “social cancer”. Our previous laboratory
experiments showed that cheaters outcompeted coexisting workers (cooperators) both in
terms of survival and reproduction. However in the absence of cooperators, cheaters failed
to produce offspring. The coexistence of cheaters and cooperators in the field makes direct
observation of some evolutionary dynamics possible. We measured multilevel selection
operating in a field population and showed that the short-term evolutionary changes follow
the prediction of kin and group selection models. Cheaters increase in numbers in the short
term because the direct benefit of cheating outweighs the costs to cheating in the short
term. This is in concordance with kin selection models but also with group selection models.
The effect of intra-colony individual selection favoring cheaters is stronger than colony-level
group section against cheaters. The fact that both type of models successfully predict the
19
short-term evolutionary change observed suggests that they are “two sides of the same
coin”. This short term evolutionary change however, seems to contradict the estimated longtime coexistence (9,000 years) of cheaters and cooperators. We analyzed the mechanism
that could lead to long-term co-existence using a spatially explicit simulation model. The
model showed that a limitation of the ability of cheaters’ to disperse can lead to long-term
coexistence though a local extinction and immigration process. We extend our analysis
to include the next level of biological hierarchy and will investigate how the presence of
cheaters affects the species’ competitiveness within an ecosystem. We will investigate,
theoretically and empirically, two alternative processes. Cheating by social cancers results
in a lower population density of P. punctatus, which makes this species less competitive and
permits the domination of or coexistence with other ant species. Conversely, communitylevel dynamics allow the population of P. punctatus to increase to a high level that makes
cheaters sustainable. If the latter effect were to prove more important, it would challenge
the common view in behavioral ecology that intra-population dynamics is the main driver of
evolution.

Genetic approaches to honeybee health
Honeybees are the preferred agricultural pollinators worldwide, and
are important natural pollinators in Europe, Asia, and Africa. The European honeybee, Apis
mellifera, is both aided and abused by humans, leading to a worldwide distribution on one
side, and alarming regional die-offs on the other. Primary causes of honeybee colony death
range from inadequate nutrition to stress from chemical exposure and maladies caused by
a diverse set of parasites and pathogens. Often, domesticated honeybees face two or more
stress agents simultaneously. Genetic approaches are being used to determine and mitigate
the causes of bee declines. Genetics screens are available for each of the major biotic threats
to bees, and screens have been used to determine risk levels for these threats in the field.
Thanks to extensive analyses of the honeybee genome, tools are also available to screen
bees for heritable traits that enable disease resistance, and to query the expressed genes
of bees to infer responses to chemicals and biological stress. This talk will cover genetic
insights into honeybee health, disease resistance and susceptibility to chemical insults.

Game of thrones: conflict, cooperation and sociality in mammals.
In this talk I review recent research on social mammals with the goal of
facilitating cross taxonomic comparisons with social insects and ultimately building a broader
conceptual framework for the evolution of group-living in animal societies. Social insect
researchers have been the primary architects of much of the currently accepted theory
and terminology in the field of animal sociality. This is arguably a function of the greater
diversity and abundance of potential study animals, the ability to quantify key variables such
as lifetime reproductive success within the lifespan of a research grant, and the comparative
ease of observing and manipulating invertebrates.
Research on social mammals has only relatively recently gained similar levels of academic
traction within the field of sociality. Initially social mammal research relied almost
exclusively on the ecological constraints theory that had been developed through extensive
work on cooperatively breeding birds. It was not until the striking examples of convergent
evolution (i.e. physogastry to enhance breeder fecundity and dispersal morphs to reduce
inbreeding) between a mammal (the naked mole-rat) and select social insects that biologists
put greater effort into considering the common selection pressures of a subterranean
fortress lifestyle in both mammals and insects. However the same selective environment
that has promoted eusociality in the naked and other mole-rats has precluded our ability to
obtain robust measures of the costs and benefits of divergent morphologies and behaviours
within groups. Consequently the first eusocial mammal has contributed only minimally to an
understanding of the fitness consequences of group living. Further research on this unusual
mammal is now focussing almost exclusively on the health and longevity implications
to humans that adaptation to a fortress lifestyle may offer (e.g. resistance to both high
oxidative stress and cancer).
Fortunately the previous decade has seen an increase in the number and diversity of studies
on other social mammals and more importantly, long-term, field based studies that measure
key ecological variables including predator pressure, thermoregulatory constraints and the
distribution, abundance and accessibility of food resources. Mammals are a useful taxon in
which to investigate constraints and flexibility in social behaviour because they show a broad
21
range of social systems, along with equivalent variation in social complexity, behavioural
flexibility, brain size and cognitive abilities.
Attempts to explain variation in fitness have explored how alloparents enhance offspring
production and survival in singular (e.g. meerkats and wild dog) and plural breeding
species, either with communal care (e.g. banded mongoose and lions) or none (e.g. seals
and baboons). Together these data provide an empirical basis for estimating the costs of
group formation and the fitness benefits with the prediction that direct fitness benefits will
increase from communal rearing without any alloparental care to singular breeders with
obligate helpers. While these advances are important we still have a comparative dearth of
data on the variation in fitness amongst individual group members and an over reliance on
group average fitness estimates.
Encouragingly the size and composition of these social mammal groups and the environment
in which they have evolved have all been shown to influence the morphology, physiology
and behaviour of individual group members with strong effects of both age and social status.
Despite clear parallels with social insects at both proximate and ultimate evolutionary levels
only a few of these studies have made the explicit link, including some overenthusiastic
claims of castes amongst mammalian helpers. Rather it is the prevalence of selfish strategies
within otherwise cooperative groups that is providing the backdrop to a richer theoretical
understanding of the importance of reciprocity, direct fitness, kin selection, dispersal,
philopatry and monogamy to the origin and maintenance of diverse social systems is insects
and mammals.

the Cairns Convention Centre. Come along to meet the authors of the posters. A cash bar
will be available during the poster session.
General Assembly Meeting
The General Assembly Meeting will commence at 1230 in Hall A & B.
82
Film Night
The film night will commence at 1900 in Hall A & B. We will show:
World premier of a documentary on Australian weaver ants produced by WildCAM Australia
Weaver ants are a ubiquitous part of the ant fauna around Cairns. Their conspicuous nests are
found throughout the city. If you are lucky you may see some in the act of building a nest using
their larvae as glue guns to stick leaves together, or witness a war between two colonies.
We will then continue by showing three short animated films from the series Nous, les fourmis
(Ants Outspoken) produced by Christian Peeters and Naret Phansua (Kantep Studio).
•
Solitary hunters (Ponerinae) It’s really, really hard to be an old worker ant
•
In the beginning, a queen (Oecophylla) Our father died 9 years ago. But that’s no problem
- Mum has a sperm bank!
•
Very big families (Monomorium) Tiny - but there is strength in numbers
We will finish off with a short (9 minutes) documentary on the evolution of agriculture in ants
by Koos Boomsma and Christian Peeters:
•
The fungus growing ants From simple gardening to industrial farming
This animated film compares three genera of fungus-farmers to explain the remarkable series of
adaptations in both fungi and ants, leading to this symbiosis. Directed by Naret Phansua
(Kantep Studio).
