Founding weaver ant queens (Oecophylla longinoda) increase production and nanitic worker size when adopting nonnestmate pupae
Weaver ants (Oecophylla longinoda Latreille) are used commercially to control pest insects and for protein production. In this respect fast colony growth is desirable for managed colonies. Transplantation of non-nestmate pupae to incipient colonies has been shown to boost colony growth. Our objec...
