The mandibular glands of the Israeli weaver ant,Polyrhachis simplex, contain a mixture of 4-heptanone, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one and 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-ol;its Dufour's gland secretion consists mainly ofn-tridecane. The significance of these glandular secretions in the biology of the weaver ant is discussed.
以色列织工蚁的下颚腺含有 4-庚酮、6-甲基-5-庚烯-2-酮和 6-甲基-5-庚烯-2-醇的混合物;其杜佛氏腺分泌物主要由正十三烷组成。讨论了这些腺体分泌物在织工蚁生物学中的意义。
