“…Insects characteristically have large quantities of free amino acids in their bodies. T h e free amino acid patterns have been used as taxonomic tools by Micks ( 1954Micks ( , 1956, Ball ( 1953), Saxena et al ( 1965), and Simpson et al ( 1959) on mosquitoes, Hemiptera, and various aquatic invertebrates, respectively. However, free amino acids were found to have no taxonomic significance by Schaefer and Wallace (1967) in sawfly larvae.…”

Chemotaxonomic Studies of Ants: Free Amino Acids

et al. 1969

Can. Em. 101: 1207-1213 (1969) Extracts of free amino acids from six species of ants (Pogonomyrmex barbatus (F. Smith), P. occidentalis (Cresson), Tapinoma sessile (Say), Camponotus pennsylvanicus (DeGeer) , Conomymza pyramica (Roger), and Novomessor cockerelli (E. AndrC) were analyzed by thin layer, one and two dimensional paper chromatography, and an automatic amino acid analyzer to determine the potential use of qualitative and(or) quantitative data of the free amino acid composition of ants in taxonomic studies. The results demonstrate that no significant qualitative differences exisr, but that the automatic amino acid analyzer may be used to show significant quantitative differences in the free amino acid composition of the ants studied.

“…The use of biochemical data in taxonomic studies has been receiving increasing attention from plant and animal systematists (Sibley 1962;Saxena et al 1965;Throckmorton 1968). Protein and protein-derivatives are the biochemical attributes most often examined because they are known to be determined by the genome.…”

Can. Ent. 101: 1256-1265 (1969) Egg-protein patterns from 23 insect species representing seven orders were obtained by acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The patterns were species specific and highly reproducible. Those for congeneric species were very similar and family resemblances were apparent. The usefulness of egg-protein patterns in phylogenetic studies and in the analysis of closely related species was suggested.
