Chemical Composition of Metapleural Gland Secretions of Fungus-Growing and Non-fungus-growing Ants
(Springer, 2012-10-01)
The metapleural gland is exclusive to ants, and unusual among exocrine glands in having no mechanism for closure and retention of secretion. As yet, no clear conclusion has been reached as to the function of metapleural ...
Morphophysiological Differences between the Metapleural Glands of Fungus-Growing and Non-Fungus-Growing Ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
(Public Library Science, 2012-08-22)
The metapleural gland is an organ exclusive to ants. Its main role is to produce secretions that inhibit the proliferation of different types of pathogens. The aim of the present study was to examine the morphophysiological ...

The functional morphology of the metapleural gland of the leaf-cutting ant Atta laevigata (Formicidae: Attini)
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2010-02-01)
Given the importance of the metapleural gland in ants, the present study aimed at describing it in minor, media, and major workers of Atta laevigata, focusing their physiology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ...
