摘要：

We investigated the demographic evidences supporting cyclical oligogyny hypothesis in the swarm-founding wasp Apoica flavissima. As predicted by this hypothesis, queen number decreased along the colony cycle, and the number of mature oocytes of queens was negatively correlated with queen number. Queens were significantly larger than workers in posterior variables on gaster and smaller in anterior variables (head and wings). New queens with slight ovarian development were found in the post-ergonomic colony at the oligogyny point.
