1.丝光弓背蚁通过串联运行技术将巢友招募到新发现的食物源或巢址。2.食物警报包括在巢内短暂持续的快速奔跑和简短的食物供应。跟随到新巢穴的“邀请行为”是不同的：一个招募者面对一个巢友，抓住它的下颚，向前拉，同时转过180度，放松抓住，并提出了肚子。当跟随者触摸领头者的腹部或后腿时，串联跑开始。3.虚拟实验表明，这些触觉刺激是重要的，以释放领导行为在串联运行。此外，我们证明了跟随蚂蚁是由表面信息素绑定到领导者。此外，与导杆的机械接触确保了串联跟随期间的精确定向。4.领头的蚂蚁从后肠释放出一种追踪信息素。已经表明，这些化学痕迹是不重要的串联运行技术中的招聘。然而，它们被用作方向线索。
1. Camponotus sericeus recruits nestmates to newly discovered food sources or nest sites by the tandem running technique. 2. The food alarm consists of short lasting fast runs inside the nest and brief food offerings. The" invitation behavior" for following to new nest sites is different: a recruiter faces a nestmate, grips it on the mandibles, pulls it forward and while turning around 180, loosens the grasp and presents the gaster. When the leader is then touched at the gaster or hindlegs by the follower, tandem running starts. 3. Dummy experiments have shown that these tactile stimuli are important to release leadership behavior during tandem running. Furthermore we demonstrated that the follower ant is bound to the leader by a surface pheromone. In addition a mechanical contact to the leader ensures a precise orientation during tandem following. 4. The leader ant discharges a trail pheromone out of the hindgut. It has been shown that these chemical trails are not important for recruitment in the tandem running technique. However, they are used as orientation cues.
