To fight or not to fight: context-dependent interspecific aggression in competing ants (2009, background): “This type of behavioural assay is commonly used to describe competitive interactions between ants (Langen et al. 2000; Suarez et al. 2002; Tsutsui et al. 2003; Dahbi et al. 2005 )a s well as many other animal species such as mammals (Getz et al. 1981; Schulte-Hostedde & Millar 2002), reptiles (Jae”
Scents of self: The expression component of self/non- self recognition systems (2004, background): “Behavioral and genetic studies show that Argentine ants, like many other eusocial insects, can use cues of genetic similarity (probably cuticular hydrocarbons, Suarez et al. 2002), to distinguish colony members from nonmembers (Tsutsui et al. 2000, Tsutsui & Case 2001).”
The Colony Structure and Population Biology of Invasive Ants (2003, background): “In ants, this type of recognition appears to be mediated by cuticular hydrocarbon-based odor cues (Vander Meer & Morel 1998; Suarez et al. 2002).”
Polydomy in ants: what we know, what we think we know, and what remains to be done (2007, unknown): “Results of aggression experiments must also be interpreted with caution, since the level of aggression between workers from different nests (of the same or different colonies) may vary in space and time, and may depend on factors such as diet composition or food availability (e.g. in L. humile, see ”
