Abstract
Methyl-3-isopropylpentanoate is identified from the heads of workers and in higher concentration from heads of old queens of Formica polyctena (Förster). In laboratory bioassays this terpenoid ester showed a strong aggression inhibiting effect. While in the abdomina of workers the alarm pheromone undecane is the main compound it is almost completely absent in the abdomina of old queens.Keywords
