From: Intra-colony venom diversity contributes to maintaining eusociality in a cooperatively breeding ant
Individual R. metallica workers from a single colony have distinct venom compositions. A MALDI mass spectrum, generated in reflectron positive mode, of pooled R. metallica venom. Selected peaks are labeled with observed monoisotopic MH+1. B Gel view of MALDI-MS spectra collected in three technical replicates from pooled venom and venoms of six individual workers illustrates intra-colony variation in R. metallica venom
