Item Composição e variabilidade enantiomérica de α-pineno em Constrictotermes cyphergaster (Silvestri, 1901) (Isoptera; Termitidae)(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2011-10-07) OLIVEIRA NETO, Jerônimo Raimundo de; AZEVEDO, Neucírio Ricardo de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7186679948528167Termites are eusocial insects of isoptera order that part in seven families. In this study we analyze the chirality of α-pinene in the defensive secretion that C. cyphergaster (Isoptera, Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae) this compound showed that among the majority of termite volatile. Along with checking the chirality was made a study seeking to correlate the production of each enantiomer, R(+)-α-pinene and S(-)-α-pinene, soil and climate data in dry and wet seasons of year 2002 and 2003. In the statistical data were used some statistical techniques such as Detrended Correspondence Analysis, to predict the model, Analysis of Variance for multiple comparison of means, and Redundancy Analysis to show a correlation matrix by another and that have a preview of the separation of groups. The DCA analysis showed that the model is linear. The analysis of variance for both the original data and for the transformed data showed that the averages do not differ statically at 95%, because they have p>0,05. The analysis of redundancy was not possible to explain the environment by the response matrix, in the 95% level of confidence. There was a production of enantiomeric α-pinene by the C. cyphergaster populations, which can be an important factor to assist in chemotaxonomic studies of these specimens. There is increased production of the (S) enantiomer, but it was not possible to correlate this trend with soil and climatic factors in statistically significant odds. The variation of the enantiomérica composition can be related to factors other than soil and climate, such as ecological factors, genetic, or eusocial.
