Journal ArticleDOI
Correlates of variation in the major/minor ratio of the ant, Pheidole dentata (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
TL;DR: Major workers of the ant, Pheidole dentata, show a stronger alarm/defense response to members of the genus Solenopsis, including the fire ant, S. invicta, than to other kinds of ants, but differences are restored after the ratio has been perturbed experimentally.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
