Alternative reproductive tactics in females: the case of size polymorphism in winged ant queens
O. Rüppell,Jürgen Heinze +1 more
TL;DR: Across taxa evidence exists that small queens found dependently while their larger conspecifics found colonies on their own, however, in most cases it is not clear whether the small queens exploit unrelated colonies (intraspecific “social parasitism”) or return to their natal colonies.

Identification, characterization and full-length sequence analysis of a novel dsRNA virus isolated from the arboreal ant Camponotus yamaokai

TL;DR: The virus was designated Camponotus yamaokai virus, the first report of a member of the family Totiviridae in a hymenopteran, and it was not closely related to the previously known totiviruses in arthropods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Queen size dimorphism in social insects
J. I. Wolf,Perttu Seppä +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that especially in ants, the occurrence of microgynes is not a stable state, but rather a transition from an intraspecific polymorphism manifested as alternative reproductive strategies to the emergence of a new species, often combined with social parasitism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of workers for queen hibernation survival in Camponotus ants.
TL;DR: The geographical distribution of these ants appears to depend on the overwintering behavior of new queens, and the influence of cohabitation with other individuals, as well as individual cold tolerance was examined.
Genetic and behavioural divergence of queen size morphs in the red ant Myrmica ruginodis
TL;DR: The results suggest that macrogynes and microgynes in the ant M. ruginodis represent an intraspecific polymorphism with alternative reproductive strategies without inquilinism involved in it, which indicates that this species is at a very early transitional stage from intraspectacular polymorphism along the divergence continuum.
