Abstract

Workers of the slavemaking ant Polyergus breviceps raid nests of Formica ants and return with Formica pupae that mature into worker ants in the slavemakers’ colony These Formica workers then tend the Polyergus brood workers and reproductives During raids in the mating season winged virgin Polyergus queens accompany the workers in the raiding columns During the raid the virgin queens release a pheromone that attracts males that quickly mate with the queens We report the identification synthesis and bioassay of the sex attractant pheromone of the queens as an approximately 16 ratio of R3ethyl4methylpentan1ol and methyl 6methylsalicylate The ants produce exclusively the Renantiomer of the alcohol and the Senantiomer has no biological activity neither inhibiting nor increasing attraction to blends of methyl 6methylsalicylate with the Renantiomer
