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.

Wheen Bee Foundation Contact: Dr Shona Blair PO Box 223 Richmond NSW 2753 Australia Phone: +61 (0)422 977 510 Email: shona.blair@wheenbeefoundation. org.au Web: www.wheenbeefoundation.org.au Facebook: WheenBeeFoundation 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. 10 Social Events Welcome Reception Sunday 13 July 2014 Time: 1830 – 2130 Cairns Cruise Liner Terminal The Cairns Cruise Liner Terminal is located on the Cairns waterfront and is a beautifully restored heritage listed wharf shed.

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 1.Lyko F, Maleszka R.

Alison Mercer Department of Zoology, University of Otago Dunedin, New Zealand Monday 14 July, 1400 – 1500 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.

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. Jae Chun Choe Director, National Institute of Ecology Professor of EcoScience, Ewha University, South Korea Tuesday 15 July, 1330 – 1430 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. 16 Judith Korb University of Freiburg, Germany Wednesday 16 July, 0815 – 0915 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. Martin Giurfa Research Center on Animal Cognition, CNRS - Université de Toulouse, France Thursday 17 July, 0830 – 0930 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. 18 Kazuki Tsuji University of the Ryukyus, Japan Thursday 17 July, 1330 – 1430 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. Jay Evans USDA-ARS Bee Research Laboratory Beltsville, Maryland, USA Friday 18 July, 0900 – 1000 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. 20 Justin O’Riain Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cape Town, South Africa Friday 18 July, 1430 – 1530 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. 22 23 Afternoon Tea Social insect host-microbe interactions Social insect host-microbe interactions Poster Session 1 (Mezzanine Foyer) 1500 – 1530 1530 – 1630 1630 – 1730 1730 – 1900 Nutrition and social behavior The impacts of environmental stressors on bee declines The impacts of environmental stressors on bee declines Plenary 2 – Alison Mercer (Hall A & B) The social side of honeybee learning: what it tells us 1400 – 1500 Nutrition and social behavior Lunch 1300 – 1400 Alternative reproductive systems and their evolutionary consequences Innovations Recruitment inspired by social behavior and insects: from dance language algorithms to communication: architecture recent advances Innovations inspired by social insects: from algorithms to architecture Advances in social insect systems in the urban landscape Advances in social insect systems in the urban landscape Empirical studies Nutrition and of the evolution social behavior of colony-level traits 1100 – 1300 Chemical ecology Alternative of social insect reproductive foraging systems and their evolutionary consequences Morning Tea 1030 – 1100 The impacts of environmental stressors on bee declines Plenary 1 – Ryszard Maleszka (Hall A & B) Molecules, environment & development canalisation: the latter-day lessons from honeybee epigenomics 0930 – 1030 Meeting Room 8 Opening Ceremony (Hall A & B) Meeting Room 4 0900 – 0930 Meeting Room 3 Registration Meeting Room 2 0730 – 1730 Meeting Room 1 Hall A & B Time Monday 14 July 2014 Monday 14 July 2014 ORAL PRESENTATION PROGRAM Create your own daily program for Monday 14 July 2014 Time Presenter Room Number 0900 – 0930 Opening Ceremony Hall A & B 0930 – 1030 Ryszard Maleszka Plenary Hall A & B 1030 – 1100 Morning Tea 1100 1115 1130 1145 1200 1215 1230 1245 1300 – 1400 Lunch 1400 – 1500 Alison Mercer Plenary 1500 – 1530 Afternoon Tea Hall A & B 1530 1545 1600 1615 1630 1645 1700 1715 1730 – 1900 Poster Session 1 Mezzanine Foyer 24 1100 – 1300 Empirical studies of the evolution of colony-level traits Hall A & B Organised by D.

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.
