The Postpharyngeal Gland: Specialized Organ for Lipid Nutrition in Leaf-Cutting Ants

There are several hypotheses about the possible functions of the postpharyngeal gland (PPG) in ants. The proposed functions include roles as cephalic or gastric caeca and diverticulum of the digestive tract, mixing of hydrocarbons, nestmate recognition, feeding larvae, and the accumulation of lipids...
