A new type of male dimorphism with ergatoid and short-winged males in Cardiocondyla cf. kagutsuchi
A new type of ant male dimorphism, consisting of wingless (ergatoid) and short-winged (brachypterous) males, was found in a species of the “Cardiocondyla kagutsuchi”- complex from Malaysia. The ergatoid males show the typical morphological and behavioral characteristics of those of many other Cardiocondyla species.

A transitional stage between the ergatoid and winged male morph in the ant Cardiocondyla obscurior
Males of the ant Cardiocondyla show a dispersal dimorphism of a winged and wingless morph. The loss of flight has lead to morphological reductions in the wingless (ergatoid) males and also affected body size, eye size and pigmentation. As ergatoid males mate exclusively inside the maternal nest, they underlie increased male-male competition and ...

Dimorphic ergatoid males and their reproductive behavior in the ponerine antHypoponera bondroiti
Insectes Sociaux, 1996We studied the reproductive behavior of the ponerine antHypoponera bondroiti from Okinawa, Japan. This species has dimorphic wingless ergatoid males (major and minor), dimorphic reproductive females (alate queens and wingless reproductive intercastes), and workers. Workers have neither ovarioles nor spermatheca.

In ants, reproductive division of labour is typically associated with queen-worker dimorphism. In some species with ergatoid queens (wingless worker-like queens), this polymorphism is drastically reduced and virgin queens may integrate the worker force ...

Imperfect chemical female mimicry in males of the ant Cardiocondyla obscurior
Udgivelsesdato: 2008Winged and wingless males coexist in the ant Cardiocondyla obscurior. Wingless ("ergatoid") males never leave their maternal colony and fight remorselessly among each other for the access to emerging females.
