In an ant, C. cursor , colony recognition of larvae exists in callow workers 10 days or older, but the discrimination capacities of very young workers has not been investigated. We show that workers less than 24 h old are already able to discriminate homocolonial from alien larvae. This is an additional argument in favour of the existence of a learning period for colony recognition of larvae during the preimaginal life.
在一种蚂蚁——C. cursor中，10日龄及以上的新工蚁存在对幼虫的群体识别能力，但非常年幼的工蚁的辨别能力尚未得到研究。我们发现，不到24小时龄的工蚁已经能够区分同群体幼虫和异群体幼虫。这是支持在幼虫期存在一个用于群体识别学习阶段的又一论据。
