Hispanopedia WikiAlate (Latinālātus, from āla (“wing”)) is an adjective and noun used in entomology and botany to refer to something that has wings or winglike structures.[1]
In entomology
In entomology, "alate" usually refers to the winged form of a social insect, especially ants[2]:209 or termites,[3] though it can also be applied to aphids[4] and some thrips.[5]
Alate females are referred to as gynes, and are typically those destined to become queens.[6] A "dealate" is an adult insect that shed or lost its wings ("dealation").[7]
In botany
In botany, "alate" refers to wing-like structures on some seeds that use wind dispersal. It is also used to describe flattened ridges which run longitudinally on stems.[8]
