Context-dependent nestmate discrimination and the effect of action thresholds on exogenous cue recognition in the Argentine ant
Article Abstract:
Changes in intraspecific aggression among colonies of Argentine ants, Linepithema humile, in various discrimination contexts are examined. Results reveal that aggression occurred at higher rates when either nestmates or familiar territory indicated nest proximity, but not when social context is absent, thereby providing additional support for the optimal acceptance threshold model.
