Abstract
S. geminata workers mark the areas they explore with a secretion from the metapleural gland. The territorial mark lasts for more than 6 h. Territories without the chemical mark induce the workers to initiate recruitment to that territory. Ants on their own territory or on territories impregnated with metapleural gland extract from workers of their colony, initiate more intraspecific combats than ants on territories of a different colony or on territories without the chemical mark.
