摘要：

2,5-Dimethyl-3-isopentylpyrazine is the main constituent in the mandibular gland secretions of workers of Hypoponera opacior and Ponera pennsylvanica. This compound releases escape alarm behavior in workers of H. opacior and P. pennsylvanica. The adaptiveness of a chemical alarm system in ant species which form relatively small colonies is discussed.
