Selection against aerial dispersal in ants: two non-flying queen phenotypes in Pogonomyrmex laticeps.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Peeters Christian, Keller Roberto A, Johnson Robert A

Abstract excerpt

The South American seed-harvester ant Pogonomyrmex laticeps has dimorphic queens: ergatoid (permanently wingless) and brachypterous (short, non-functional wings). Surveys in western Argentina indicated that colonies near Chilecito, La Rioja Province, produced only ergatoid queens, while those near Punta Balasto, Catamarca Province (263 km away), produced only brachypterous queens. Brachypterous queens were...
