Worker morphology of the ant Gnamptogenys striatula Mayr (Formicidae, Ectatomminae) in different landscapes from the Atlantic Forest domain

Natural history notes on worker size, colony size, and nest structure of Azteca muelleri Emery, 1893 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Cecropia glaziovii (Rosales: Urticaceae) from the Atlantic Forest

“…Only one queen was found, with a head width of 1.56 mm and a Weber's length of 3.14 mm. Workers of the same species with different sizes can indicate the influence of habitat (e.g., preserved and disturbed areas), as is the case of Gnamptogenys striatula Mayr 1884 (Oliveira et al 2015). That is an external factor, but there may also be intrinsic factors (genotype and development), or a combination of both (nutrition and social environment) (Wills et al 2018).…”
