摘要

Our study focused on the thermoelectric properties of hornet cuticle at different body compartments and under varying states of awakeness. We also measured the temperature alteration patterns in various body parts of the hornet. Electric voltage and current were dependent on: a) the state of wakefulness; b) the part of the body. The current was lowest in dead hornet cuticle, somewhat higher in narcotized hornet cuticle, considerably higher in the cuticle of hornets awakening from anesthesia and highest in fully awake hornets. Voltage values were of the same order for dead and narcotized hornets, but considerably higher in unanesthetized awake hornets and highest in the cuticle of hornets awakening from anesthesia. At optimal temperature (29℃) the hornet body temperature was higher on the abdominal cuticle than on other body parts. At an ambient temperature of 20℃, the highest temperatures were recorded on the head and thorax, and the lowest on the abdomen. Body temperatures of live hornets were higher than the cooler ambient temperature outside the nest at night. The results suggest that the hornets possess an intrinsic biological heat pump mechanism, which can be used to achieve active thermoregulation.
