i5K Comments for Formica fusca
This is one of the best studied ant species with respect to recognition behaviour and recognition cue diversity. Cryptic species based on chemical differences have been indicated in this subgenus, and a very closely related sympatric species has chemically diverged considerably from F. fusca. This suggests potential for F fusca and relatives as a system for studying the role of recognition cue divergence in speciation. Material is easily available since the species is very common, and easy to collect and maintain in the lab. ICIPE
