蚂蚁利用身体表面化学物质的差异来区分巢友和蚁群入侵者。马达加斯加的社会寄生蚂蚁在形态上与宿主工蚁的解剖结构相似,这意味着体型也可能受到监视。现在需要对蚂蚁社会中的触觉行为进行研究。
Ants exploit differences in body surface chemistry to distinguish nestmates from colony intruders. Socially parasitic ants in Madagascar have convergently evolved morphological similarities to host worker anatomy, implying that body shape may also be surveilled. Studies of tactile behaviors in ant societies are now needed.
