摘要:
Colonies ofPlatythyrea schultzeiForel 1910 are obligately queenless, containing only 10–40 morphologically and anatomically similar, monomorphic workers. The role of the queen is filled by a single inseminated worker in each colony. The ovaries of this worker are physiologically active, while oogenesis is repressed in its nestmates.
