Behavioral experiments have demonstrated that higher aggression directed toward slavemakers (e.g., number of injured and killed slavemakers) results in a higher proportion of brood being rescued by attacked host colonies (Foitzik et al. 2001).
Brood being a strong elicitor for intake behaviour is also exploited, for example, by parasitic Maculinea butterflies, which morphologically and chemically mimic ant larvae and are picked up and brought into the nest [ 36].
If multifemale colonies contain only a single mother and other females are recently eclosed daughters who are soon to disperse, we would expect that the latter daughters would not have an effect on the number of brood being actively reared (larvae) or soon to be reared (eggs).
