Polyergus breviceps

An example of an uncharacterized chemical cue from ant brood occurs in the obligatory slave-making ant, Polyergus breviceps. Pupae of this species are cared for by their enslaved host worker, while pupae of other species are consumed [125]. [Pg.172]

The sex pheromone of the slave-making ant, Polyergus breviceps, has been identified as a blend of methyl-6-methylsalicylate and 3-ethyl-4-methylpentanol. Each compound alone was completely unattractive to males whereas a blend of the two compounds attracted hundreds of males in a couple of hours. [Pg.296]
