Workers of the ponerine ant, Paraponera clavata, grow allometrically, with the head disproportionately larger in larger workers. The anterior (clypeus)-posterior (occiput) dimension of the head capsule is allometric with the lateral (interocular) dimension, so that larger workers have elongate heads. The degree of head capsule allometry varies among colonies; this could result either from differences in colony maturity or from variation in developmental patterns among colonies. These data resolve a previously controversial issue concerning caste in Paraponera clavata.

The energy currencies used by foraging animals are expected to relate to the energy costs and benefits of resource collection. However, actual costs of foraging are rarely measured. We measured the ratio of energetic benefit relative to cost (B/C) during foraging for the giant tropical ant, Paraponera clavata. The B/C ratio was 3.9 for nectar-foragers and 67 for insect prey foragers. In contrast, the B/C ratio during foraging for seed harvester ants (Pogonomyrmex occidentalis) is over 1000, demonstrating that the B/C ratio can vary widely among ants. The B/C ratio was 300 times lower for nectar-foraging Paraponera than for the seed-harvesting Pogonomyrmex because of: (1) a 5-fold lower energetic benefit per trip, (2) a 10-fold greater cost due to longer foraging distances, and (3) a 6-fold greater energy cost per meter due to larger body size. For Paraponera daily colonial energy intake rates are similar to expenditures and may limit colony growth and reproduction. In contrast, for Pogonomyrmex energy intake rates are an order of magnitude higher than estimated costs, suggesting that Pogonomyrmex colonies are unlikely to be limited by short-term energy intake. We suggest that variation in individual B/C ratios may explain why the foraging behavior of Paraponera but not Pogonomyrmex appears sensitive to foraging costs.

The furcula in these two species is X shaped. Very large mandibular glands attach to the mesal side of each mandible. Dufour's gland secretion in D. grandis workers contains a series of saturated, monounsaturated, and diunsaturrated hydrocarbons in the range from C13 to C19, with pentadecane being the major alkane present. The mandibular gland secretion consists of 2,5-dimethyl-3-n-propylpyrazine and 2,5-dimethyl-3-isopentylpyrazine. Dufour's gland secretion of P. clavata is dominated by nonadecadiene, pentacosadiene, and heptacosadiene, with a series of alkanes and alkenes from C16 to C29 also present. Mandibular gland secretions consist of a mexture of 4-methyl-3-heptanone and 4-methyl-3-heptanol.

extract: ґColonies of the giant ponerine ant Paraponera clavata nest at the bases of trees throughout a wide range in Central and South America. At the La Selva Field Station (..), Costa Rica, the ants prefer but do not limit themselves to Pentaclethra macroloba, a mimosaceous tree that is by far the most abundant species in the tropical moist forest of the region. (...) It thus appears that Paraponera queens actively choose Pentaclethra over at least some of the other available tree species, probably by chemoreception. On the other hand, the result must be considered weak, due to the fact that only two queens were availabla for testing. (..)

1. The work reported here tested experimentally whether specialisation in Apocephalus paraponerae was due to physiological interactions that limit the parasitoid to the host ant Paraponera clavata. The suitability of other ant species as hosts was tested, and behavioural traits that may promote a high degree of specificity within this host-parasitoid system are discussed. 2. Data for development time, number of puparia, and adult eclosion success for A. paraponerae ovipositing in the regular host P. clavata are provided. A new method for testing host suitability in parasitoids of ants is described. Eggs of A. paraponerae were transferred directly into potential ant hosts. The development time, number of puparia, and adults eclosed for the eggs transferred into other ant host species are compared with comparable data from P. clavata. 3. Seven ant species within the Ponerinae are suitable for the development of A. paraponerae . The potential host range is greater than the actual host range of A. paraponerae. Flies are not limited solely by host suitability of related ant species for the development of larvae. Host location and acceptance behaviours are proposed as the primary reasons for host specialisation. The large size of the primary host P. clavata, and the ability of multiple females to raise many offspring successfully from those hosts may influence the specialisation of A. paraponerae on P. clavata.

1. At concentrations varying from 10(-8) to 10(-6) M synthetic poneratoxin (PoTX) is a strong, but very slowly acting agonist for smooth muscles and its blocks synaptic transmission in the insect CNS in a concentration-dependent manner and depolarizes giant interneurons. 2. However, in isolated dorsal unpaired median cells 10(-6)M PoTX causes only a reversible hyperpolarization of about 5 mV. 3. At concentrations from 10(-8) to 10(-6)M PoTX affects the electrical activity of isolated cockroach axons, as well as isolated frog and rat skeletal muscle fibres. 4. PoTX prolongs action potentials and induces slow automatic activity, due to a slow Na+-current activation at very negative values of potential and due to slow deactivation.

1. The neurotoxic action of the venom of the ponerine ant, Paraponera clavata, was studied using a cascade of mammalian smooth muscle preparations and a preparation for investigating transmission from fibres of the cercal nerve to a giant interneuron in the sixth abdominal ganglion of the cockroach. 2. The venom contains three toxic fractions that block synaptic transmission in the insect central nervous system. 3. Two of these fractions have agonistic action on mammalian smooth muscle preparations. 4. One of the later fractions was characterized pharmacologically as containing a kinin. 5. The other, and most active neurotoxic fraction, was rechromatographed, resulting in the purification of a peptide of 25 amino acids residues, called poneratoxin, PoTX: Phe-Leu-Pro-Leu-Leu-Ile-Leu-Gly- Ser-Leu-Leu-Met-Thr-Pro-Pro-Val-Ile-Gln-Ala-Ile-His-Asp-Ala-Gln-Arg-Hn2.
