Nest architecture and colony composition in two populations of Ectatomma ruidum sp. 2 (E. ruidum species complex) in southwestern Colombia
Table 2
Binomial GLM comparing queenright vs. queenless nests.
Only significant results of the deviance analysis between population and structural variables of the 152 complete nests of E. ruidum sp. 2 extracted during the whole study are presented here. The number of workers and larvae was significantly higher in queenright nests while queenless nests had a significantly higher number of gynes. Queenright nests at ‘Cauca’ tended to have fewer males and more workers than at ‘Cali’.
