title: [Oxygen consumption of hibernating worker ants Dolichoderus quadripunctatus as a function of temperature and level of population].
abstract: The oxygen consumption of "hibernating" ants shows a grouping effect translated by a significant decrease in the level of oxygen consumption as a function of grouping effect. The general relation between oxygen consumption and the living body mass is the same, if the living material belongs to a single animal, or a social community of ants.
