To b or not to b: a pheromone-binding protein regulates colony social organization in fire ants.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Jan 2005

Krieger Michael J B

Abstract excerpt

A major distinction in the social organization of ant societies is the number of reproductive queens that reside in a single colony. The fire ant Solenopsis invicta exists in two distinct social forms, one with colonies headed by a single reproductive queen and the other containing several to hun...
