- 論文の詳細を見る
Morphological differences were found between workers with undeveloped ovaries and an empty spermatheca, and females with developed ovaries in two colonies of Polybia occidentalis collected in Ribeirao Preto, southeastern Brazil. Among females with developed ovaries, inseminated females are designated as queens and uninseminated ones as intermediates. Mean sizes of most body parts of queens including alitrunk length, were larger than those of workers. Mahalanobis distances calculated in canonical discriminant analysis, as well as basic statistics, indicate that intermediates are morphologically closer to queens than to workers, a result rather unusual among so far observed epiponines.
