    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Dendromyrmex chartifex undD. fabricii sind Weberameisen: Die erwachsenen Larven dieser Formicinen-Arten fügen den arborealen Kartonnestern Seide zu. Dieses Seidematerial verstärkt die aus pflanzlichen Teilchen bestehenden Wände der Nestkammern, die von Arbeitern gebaut werden. Das kommunale Seide-Spinnen vonDendromyrmex ist die bis jetzt primitivste Form dieses Verhaltens und könnte die erste Stufe in der Evolution des Webens bei Ameisen darstellen. Nicht die Arbeiter, welche die Larven mit den mandibeln halten, sondern die Larven machen die seitlich gerichteten Spinnbewegungen. Dieses Verhalten unterscheidet sich vom konventionellen Kokon-Spinnen nur in der Orientierung der Bewegungen in Bezug zum Körper. Oft produzieren sogar die Larven Seide zum Nestbau, ohne dabei von den Arbeitern gehalten zu werden. Männchenlarven und Arbeiterlarven zeigen kommunales Spinnverhalten; ob beide die gleiche Menge Seide per Individuum produzieren muss noch festgestellt werden. Weitere Beobachtungen im Freiland und Laboratorium zur Biologie vonDendromyrmex werden berichtet: Die Kolonien sind polydom; die Arbeiter furagieren nachts und nehmen eine Vielfalt von Insekten als Futterbeute an. Die Arbeiter vonD. chartifex haben auffallende Augenflecken und verhalten sich als ob sie Polybiinen-Wespen nachahmten. Es wird vermutet, dass es sich hier um eine Batessche Mimikry dieser stechenden Insekten handelt.
    Notes: Summary Dendromyrmex chartifex andD. fabricii are weaver ants: the mature larvae of these formicine species add silk to the arboreal carton nests. This material strengthens the layers of vegetable fibers, which form the bulk of the nests and are contributed by the workers. The communal silk spinning is the most primitive yet discovered and may represent the first stage in the evolution of weaving. The larvae, rather than the workers that hold them in their mandibles, make the lateral weaving movements, and their behavior differs from conventional cocoon spinning only in the orientation of the movements relative to the body. Moreover, larvae often contribute silk in this manner even when unattended by workers. Both male and worker-destined larvae spin communally; whether they contribute equal quantities per capita remains to be determined. Other information on the natural history ofDendromyrmex based on field and laboratory studies is reported: the colonies are polydomous; the workers forage nocturnally and accept a wide variety of insect prey. The workers ofD. chartifex have unusual genal eyespots and behave in such a way as to resemble polybiine wasps, and it is suggested that they are in fact Batesian mimics of these stinging insects.

    Notes: [Auszug] The identity and origin of the West Indian plague ants of the early sixteenth and late eighteenth centuries have long been a mystery. By reviewing historic accounts with an analysis of the present-day Caribbean ant fauna, I have narrowed the list of suspects to two species and their insect ...

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR - Steven Rose notes in his recent letter (Nature 22 January, p.335) that a National Front journal New Nation has claimed to find support for racism in my writings on sociobiology, as well as in those of Dawkins and Maynard Smith. Rose calls on the latter two authors to dissociate themselves ...

    Notes: Abstract The pervasive social and ecological differences between ant colonies that have a single queen and those that have multiple queens are defined. The evolutionary tendencies which lead to polygyny and the adaptive significance of multiple queens are examined. The discussion of the ecological consequences of polygyny and monogyny leads to a deeper understanding of territoriality, spacing and species packing in ants.
