Pleometrosis is a form of social behavior observed in some ant species, characterized by the simultaneous coexistence of multiple queens (reproductive females) within a single colony. This phenomenon can occur during the colony's founding stage or in established colonies. In pleometrous associations, multiple queens work together to establish a colony, sharing the responsibilities of foraging, nest defense, and brood care.
