Behavioural ecology: the menopausal aphid glue-bomb.

William A Foster1.   

Abstract

A gall-forming aphid has an extended post-reproductive life in which adults become transformed into glue-packed warriors able to defend their colony. These aphids thus provide a novel example of late-life, post-reproductive helping behaviour. Copyright 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
