The antsPogonomyrmex catifornicusandPheidole tucsonicadisplay cooperative colony foundation with co-foundresses forming associations without respect to relatedness. Geographic variation in method of colony foundation [cooperative (pleometrosis) versus non-cooperative (haplometrosis)] occurs inP. californicus, Acromyrmex versicolor, Myrmecocystus mimicus and Messor pergandei.Such variation in colony founding behavior strongly suggests that comparative studies of the adaptive value of cooperative colony founding will be extremely rewarding.

AbstractThe gas chromatograms of some of the volatile chemicals found in the following ants are presented: Pogonomyrmex barbatus (F. Smith), Forelius foetida (Buckley), Conomyrma pyramica (Roger), Iridomyrmex pruinosus analis (E. André), Tapinoma sessile (Say), Trachymyrmex septentrionalis obscura (Wheeler), Pheidole dentata Mayr, Acromyrmex versicolor (Pergunda), and Novomessor cockerelli (E. André). The data and methods are presented to demonstrate their potential value as taxonomic characters in the study of ant systematics.
