Colony life circle, of Componotus japonious Mayr

研究了日本弓背蚁的社群生活史；结合室外观察和室内饲养方法，对日本弓背蚁社群生活史各阶段社会行为进行了初步研究．结果表明，蚁后在社群的建立过程中起着重要作用；日本弓背蚁社群建立过程可为社会行为演化的“亚社会路线”提供证据．

Many social behaviours in each step of it′s colony life circle are investigated by observing the natual life and culturing the colony in lab. the results suggest that the qeen takes an important role in the founding of colony and the process of colony life circle of Componotus japonicus Mayr can provide a proof of “Subsocial Route” which is a hyphothesis on the developing route of inseot′s social behaviour.
