宿主-寄生虫系统中的相互选择压力推动了共同进化的军备竞赛,导致双方都进行了先进的适应。在社会寄生虫与其宿主之间的相互作用中,攻击性是选择下的主要行为特征之一。在野外操作中,我们的目的是解开奴隶制蚂蚁和巢密度对Temnothorax longispinosustants攻击的影响。早期的奴隶制交配飞行为我们提供了独特的机会来研究主机侵略和人口对创始决策和成功的影响。我们发现,寄生虫女王避免在寄生区的殖民地基础,并能够捕获更多的育雏较少侵略性的主机殖民地。在两个月的实验中,宿主群体的攻击性保持一致,但对我们的操作没有反应。然而,由于五分之一的宿主群体被寄生虫女王成功入侵,奴隶主巢基金会作为一个强选择事件选择宿主群体中的高侵略性。
Reciprocal selection pressures in host–parasite systems drive coevolutionary arms races that lead to advanced adaptations in both opponents. In the interactions between social parasites and their hosts, aggression is one of the major behavioural traits under selection. In a field manipulation, we aimed to disentangle the impact of slavemaking ants and nest density on aggression ofTemnothorax longispinosusants. An early slavemaker mating flight provided us with the unique opportunity to study the influence of host aggression and demography on founding decisions and success. We discovered that parasite queens avoided colony foundation in parasitized areas and were able to capture more brood from less aggressive host colonies. Host colony aggression remained consistent over the two-month experiment, but did not respond to our manipulation. However, as one-fifth of all host colonies were successfully invaded by parasite queens, slavemaker nest foundation acts as a strong selection event selecting for high aggression in host colonies.
