Allometry of workers of the fire ant, Solenopsis invicta [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Insect Science, 2003
The relationship between worker body size and the shape of their body parts was explored in the polymorphic ant, Solenopsis invicta. The data consisted of 20 measurements of body parts as well as sums of some of these measurements. Size-free shape variables were created by taking the ratios of relevant measures.
