Resumo: | The knowledge of the workers energy content is essential to measure the energy availability for maintenance and performance of activities essences for the colony growth. But little is known about the workers energy content, and how much will be available to carry out activities, for example, the excavation of the nest. The present study determined the lipid content and energy content of the worker ants inactive before and after excavation activity. Through the lipids determination, it can be calculated the energy content of workers resting (standing) with those which excavated. The lipid content and energy content of the workers were on average 9.1±0.8% and energy content of the workers was on average 111.31±54.71J, respectively, however, the experimental series did not differ significantly. Additionally, catabolic flux rate based in workers body mass was 14.76±10.11µW. It was concluded that the energy resource for the excavation of the nest is not coming from reserve lipid body, and thus the energy content of the workers did not change before and after excavation activity. |

Mas pouco se conhece sobre o conteúdo energético das operárias e quanto estará disponível para realizar atividades de, por exemplo, escavar do ninho. O presente estudo determinou o teor de lipídeo e o conteúdo energético das operárias de formigas cortadeiras inativas, antes e pós atividade de escavação. Por meio da determinação do teor de lipídeos, pode-se calcular o conteúdo energético das operárias em repouso (paradas) e compará-las com as que escavaram. O teor de lipídeo e conteúdo energético das operárias foram em média 9,1±0,8% e 111,31±54,71J, respectivamente, entretanto, as séries experimentais não diferiram significativamente. Adicionalmente, a taxa do fluxo catabólico, embasado na massa corporal das operárias foi de 14,76±10,11µW. Conclui-se que o recurso energético para a escavação do ninho não é proveniente de reserva de lipídeos corporal e, dessa forma, o conteúdo energético das operárias não alterou antes e pós-atividade de escavação.Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Departamento de Produção Vegetal, Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas de Botucatu, Botucatu, Rua José Barbosa de Barros n 1780, CEP 18610-307, SP, BrasilMirmecoLab, Comportamento e Biologia Animal, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF), Rua José Lourenço Kelmer, s/n, 36036-900, Juiz de Fora, MG, Brasil.Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Departamento de Produção Vegetal, Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas de Botucatu, Botucatu, Rua José Barbosa de Barros n 1780, CEP 18610-307, SP, BrasilUniversidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp)Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)Camargo, Roberto da SilvaLopes, JulianeFloriano SantosForti, Luiz Carlos [UNESP]2016-04-01T18:46:14Z2016-04-01T18:46:14Z2013info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article1987-1990application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-84782013005000127Ciência Rural, v. 43, n. 11, p. 1987-1990, 2013.0103-8478http://hdl.handle.net/11449/13755310.1590/S0103-84782013005000127S0103-84782013001100011S0103-84782013001100011.pdf6187684824965648Currículo Lattesreponame:Repositório Institucional da UNESPinstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporCiência Rural0.5250,337info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-04-30T15:53:34Zoai:repositorio.unesp.br:11449/137553Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttp://repositorio.unesp.br/oai/requestopendoar:29462024-08-05T13:51:31.138917Repositório Institucional da UNESP - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false |
