Proximate mechanisms of male morph determination in the ant Cardiocondyla obscurior.

Evolution & development - 1 Jan 2000

Schrempf Alexandra, Heinze Jürgen

Abstract excerpt

The ant genus Cardiocondyla is characterized by an extraordinary male polyphenism, with winged disperser males and wingless, territorial ergatoid males. Winged males are produced only after the colony has experienced stressful environmental conditions, e.g., a drastic temperature decrease. We investigated the proximate basis of male polyphenism and caste dimorphism in C. obscurior. The critical stage for both...
