Zusammenfassung

Wie jeder normale Organismus, der sich mit einem Immunsystem schützt, das zwischen Eigenem und Fremdem unterscheidet, sind Ameisen-Superorganismen mit „sozialen Immunbarrieren“ ausgestattet, die Nestgenossinnen den Zutritt ermöglichen, während sie Eindringlinge, die keine Nestgenossinnen sind, abwehren. Es ist eine der größten Herausforderungen für Myrmekophile, diese Hürden zu überwinden, um von einer Ameisengesellschaft aufgenommen zu werden. Tatsächlich ist die Erkennung eine äußerst wichtige Form der Kommunikation bei allen sozialen Insekten, einschließlich der Erkennung von fremden Arten, von Mitgliedern anderer Kolonien derselben Art, und von Nestgenossen, die verschiedenen Kasten und Entwicklungsstadien angehören.
