Tolerance toward foreigners in ants requires chronic exposure for establishment but only sporadic exposure for maintenance

2025-12-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Social insects discriminate between foreigners and members of their own colony via complex olfactory cues. How plastic this discriminatory behavior is, and whether and under what circumstances ants can learn to accept genetically distinct individuals as nestmates, is poorly understood. Here, we study this question in the clonal raider ant, Ooceraea biroi , which provides unparalleled experiment...
