polymorphic male ants te section polymorphism ants surprises me by claiming that polymorphism is more common among male ants than among the females it also claims that there are non reproductive male ants recalling that all i've read about ants was to the effect that the haploid males sole task in the colonies is reproductive i find this rather confusing could male possibly be a misprint for female if there is any polymorphism in male ants apart from them taking part in the sexual dimorphism i'd like to see a reference or a wp link regards
