title = "Chemistry of the anal glands of Bothriomyrmex syrius forel. Olfactory mimetism and temporary social parasitism",
abstract = "1. 1. The anal gland secretions of Bothriomyrmex syrius Forel workers contain cis-3-dodecenoic acid and small amounts of trans-2-dodecenoic acid and oleic acid. 2. 2. The female secretions consist of 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one and a trace of α-terpineol. 3. 3. The presence of the ketone in the female secretion may explain the success of these ants as temporary social parasites of the Tapinoma ants.",
