摘要
An experiment examined the effects of diet on brood rearing in colonies of Leptothorax ambiguus and L. longispinosus and on fighting between colonies of the two species. Colonies fed Drosophila and honey reared more pupae than colonies fed the Bhatkar and Whitcomb (1970) diet. However, diet had no effect on intercolonial fighting.
