Figure 2. The frequency of repletes among the soldiers and the minor 
workers respectively in two colonies of Camponotus ( Colobopsis ) fraxini- 
cola. The ants were fed to satiation with sucrose solution on three occa- 
sions ten days apart and starved in the intervening periods. The soldier 
caste consistently achieved a higher level of repletion when the colony was 
fed but surrendered it to a greater extent when the colony was starved.
