Abstrak:

*[Cardiocondyla nuda ergatoid males attack & frequently kill young males, during or shortly after eclosion. Therefore, smaller colonies contain typically only one adult male, which may inseminate all alate queens, which are reared in the colony over a few weeks. However, in larger colonies, several males may be present, fighting among adult males was not observed.]
