Talk:Mycocepurus smithii

Untitled
A total of six tests were done. Wow now we can be sure this is true! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.35.44.19 (talk) 14:33, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The article does only list the latest six tests, however, all research on the species including the 2005 study on over 100 colonies found no females. In all studies done on the species in the last 50 years, no males have ever been found. If you find any contradictory evidence, please add it to the article. Until then, the article will continue to provide the latest scientific consenus on the species. --Odie5533 (talk) 15:22, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

The article states all ants are genetically identical to the queen - however if the ant is truly asexual then surely all queens would also be genetically identical. Is there any information regarding this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatcud (talk • contribs) 12:42, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Physical description
A very detailed physical description of the species is provided here. The text is public domain, so if someone wants to summarize it and put it in the article I think it would be a great addition. --Odie5533 (talk) 15:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

I think something that would be helpful for this article is a section dedicated to the species' behavior, especially how the ants interact as a colony. Being that the colony is all female and genetically identical, the behavior would be different from other species of ants. --Dkrinock (talk) 17:46, 11 September 2014
