Definition of dulosis in English:

dulosis

noun djʊːˈləʊsisˌd(y)o͞oˈlōsəs

mass nounEntomology

The practice by slave-making ants of capturing the pupae of other ant species and rearing them as workers of their own colony.
Example sentencesExamples
- Their attack on the pet class is presented as an example of dulosis.
- On the other hand, one person's comment refers to dulosis as ‘little better than a euphemism’.
- This parasitic relationship in which workers of a parasitic ant species capture brood from other colonies and rear them as enslaved nestmates is referred to as dulosis.
- Second, although an evolutionary hypothesis of dulosis based on predation can account for brood capture and the rearing of excess pupae, the important issue of non-independent colony foundation must also be addressed.
Synonyms
subjugation, disenfranchisement, suppression, tyranny, subjection, oppression, domination, exploitation, persecution

Derivatives

dulotic

adjective

Entomology

This dulotic character of many ants continues to stimulate research.
Example sentencesExamples
- This dulotic nest belongs to a red slave-raiding Polyergus species which is parasitic on the silvery field ant Formica argentea.
- The slave-maker, or dulotic, ant species are typically specialized for raiding nests of host species for their brood.
- Various types such as guest ants, temporary parasites (some Lasius, Formica, Bothriomyrmex species), inquilines or permanent social parasites (Anergates, Aporomyrmex, Doronomyrmex, Strongylognathus, etc.), and slave-makers or dulotic species (Chalepoxenus, Epimyrma, Harpagoxenus, Protomognathus, Strongylognathus, Polyergus, etc.) are known.
- Facultative slave-making ants, like those in the sanguinea complex, represent an intermediate parasitic group, between freeliving species on the one hand, and obligatory dulotic species on the other.

Origin

Early 20th century: from Greek doulōsis 'slavery', from doulos 'slave'.
