carinatum complex were examined. Thirteen previously described trans‐2,5‐dialkylpyrrolidines were detected in these ants, along with the novel trans‐2‐ethyl‐5‐[(Z)‐tridec‐4‐enyl]pyrrolidine (6), whose structure was confirmed by synthesis. The extent of variation and the correlation observed in the morphology and venom chemistry in M. rothsteini samples is very strongly indicative of multiple species
对澳大利亚 Monomorium rothsteini 复合物的形态和毒液
生物碱进行了比较。这些蚂蚁是在澳大利亚从新南威尔士州西部、昆士兰州北部和北领地北部收集的。此外,还检查了来自 M. sordidum 复合体和 M. carinatum 复合体的样品。在这些蚂蚁中检测到 13 种先前描述的反式-2,5-二烷基
吡咯烷,以及新型反式-2-乙基-5-[(Z)-tridec-4-enyl]
吡咯烷 (6),其结构已通过合成证实. 在 M. rothsteini 样本的形态和毒液
化学中观察到的变异程度和相关性非常强烈地表明该复合体中有多个物种。
