The cooperative defence in ant societies is a suitable system that can keep the integrity of the colonies from threats represented by competitors, predators and parasites. This is due to the presence of a well‐organized alarm communication system t

The alarm behaviour of the ant Formica rufibarbis was investigated by laboratory bioassays in which different exocrine glandular secretions were tested. This was done in order to identify glandular sources of the alarm pheromones involved. Experiment

The aim of the research reported here was to determine whether 3-ethyl-4-methylpentanol, a minor but crucial component of the sex pheromone of the North American slave-making ant species Polyergus breviceps, was also a component of the sex pheromone

Nestmate recognition systems in ants are largely based on chemical signals. The hydrocarbon fraction of the lipid layer which covers the insect cuticle plays a determinant role in this context. Here we report a novel extension of nestmate and alien r

The different techniques employed by Messor capitatus workers to interfere with the activity of neighbouring heterospecific colonies are described for the first time. Observations and experiments conducted both in the field and in the laboratory allo

A review of field and laboratory research concerning raiding behaviour, mating strategies and colony founding in Formica sanguinea and Polyergus rufescens (respectively facultative and obligatory parasites of the Serviformica species) is presented. T

The role of decyl butyrate (the main component of the secretion of Dufour’s gland in newly-mated queens) during host-colony usurpation was investigated in the European amazon ant Polyergus rufescens. The effect of this ester on the behaviour of wor

Dufour’s gland contents of the queens of the slave-making ant species Polyergus rufescens and its host, Formica cunicularia, were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In P. rufescens, the gland contains a mixture of several esters, one

In the European slave-making ant Polyergus rufescens, the occurrence of chemical strategies during the initial phase of dependent colony foundation or usurpation was investigated. To test this idea, we analysed the effect of the secretion of differen

In this paper we report the results of a detailed study on the behavioral ecology of slave raiding and foraging activity in the European blood-red ant, Formica sanguinea Latr. The field study was conducted over an unbroken period of 78 days, during w
