How do leaf-cutting ants recognize antagonistic microbes in their fungal crops?
Leaf-cutting ants employ diverse behavioral strategies for promoting the growth of fungal
cultivars in a structure known as fungus garden. As a nutritionally rich resource for the ants …

Selective interspecific tolerance in tropical Crematogaster–Camponotus associations
Associations between ants of the genera Crematogaster and Camponotus are found in

Born in an alien nest: how do social parasite male offspring escape from host aggression?
Social parasites exploit the colony resources of social insects. Some of them exploit the host
colony as a food resource or as a shelter whereas other species also exploit the brood care …

Nestmate recognition and levels of aggression are not altered by changes in genetic diversity in a socially polymorphic ant
H Rosset, T Schwander, M Chapuisat - Animal Behaviour, 2007 - Elsevier
The ability to distinguish nestmates from foreign individuals is central to the functioning of
insect societies. In ants, workers from multiple-queen colonies are often less aggressive …
