TL;DR: In this paper, a morphological intermediate between the ant species Lasius alienus and Lasius niger was found to occupy a different phenotypic space to L. niger, using esterase isozymes and morphology as criteria for separation.
Abstract: Morphological intermediates between the ant speciesLasius alienus andLasius niger are shown to occupy a different phenotypic space toL. alienus andL. niger, using esterase isozymes and morphology as the criteria for separation. This finding contrasts with a previous investigation byWilson (1955), based on (the same) morphological criteria alone.
