Chez les Formicidés, le nombre de reproducteurs par colonie est un trait fortement plastique entre les espèces, au sein des espèces et même à l'échelle populationnelle. Le passage d'un (monogynie) à plusieurs (polygynie) reproducteurs par colonie constitue une transition majeure dans l'évolution de la socialité. Les cinq chapitres de la présente thèse sont consacrés à l'étude des processus de communication impliqués dans la transition entre les deux grands types d'organisation sociale (monogynie et polygynie) en utilisant comme modèle principal la fourmi Odontomachus hastatus. Ces travaux, combinant études comportementales et électro-physiologiques et analyses chimiques suggèrent que les processus de communication chimique déterminent forte...
