Ecological, behavioral, and biochemical aspects of insect hydrocarbons. (2005, background): “(74) studied the ponerine ant Harpegnathos saltator, in which queen-worker dimorphism is very limited, and only a few mated workers reproduce once the founding queen senesces.”
Endocrine Control of Insect Polyphenism (2012, background): “"ese species resolve the reproductive conflict by employing a mixed strategy of aggression by a dominant female and chemical signaling (Cuvillier-Hot et al., 2001; Liebig et al., 2000; Monnin and Ratnieks, 2001; Peeters et al., 1999).”
