分享足迹在蚂蚁中是很罕见的。在前面描述的两种情况中，. o.ne被解释为互利关系或弱寄生关系的一部分，可能是前者，另一种是弱寄生关系的一部分。第三个，新的情况下，已被发现，这似乎是martisalistic。在西印度群岛的特立尼达岛上，相当稀少的蚁Camponotus beebei的工蚁利用丰富的长角蚁Azteca chartifex的树木气味痕迹。Camponotus在白天“借用”后者的踪迹，当阿兹特克觅食处于低潮时。在坎波诺特，我们工人受到的待遇很差。阿兹特克工人，但太迅速和敏捷被抓住;他们的存在并没有严重扰乱阿兹特克人。有一次，Camponotus的工人被观察到。在阿兹台克小径上铺设了他们自己的私人招募气味小径。Camponotus的踪迹持续了大约15分钟，并没有明显的影响。阿兹特克
Trail sharing is a rare event in ants. Of two previously described cases, .o.ne is interpreted as part o.f a relationship that is either mutualistic or weakly parasitic, probably the former, and the other as part of a weakly parasitic relationship. A third, new case has been discovered which appears to be commensalistic. On Trinidad, West Indies, workers of the rather scarce formicine Camponotus beebei utilize the arboreal odor trails of the abundant dolichoderine, Azteca chartifex. The Camponotus "borrow" the latter’s trails during the day, when Azteca foraging is at a low ebb. The Camponot,us workers are treated hostilely by the. Azteca workers but are too swift and agile to be caught; their presence does not disturb the Azteca seriously. On a single occasion Camponotus workers were observed to. lay their own private recruitment odor trail on top of the Azteca trails. The Camponotus trail lasted for about fifteen minutes and had no visible effect on the. Azteca.
