• Division of labor increases with colony size in the harvester ant Pogonomyrmex californicus (2011, background): “Body size is correlated with task performance in ants with polymorphic workers (Oster and Wilson 1978; Hölldobler and Wilson 1990), and to a lesser extent, in some social insects lacking distinct physical worker subcastes (Schwander et al. 2005; Jandt and Dornhaus 2009).”
