Table A1.
Summary of the experimental nests used in the two experiments “Vacant possession” and “Takeover”. The same 40 combinations of “nurse” and “foreign” colonies were used for both experiments, with different P. alcon caterpillars and worker ants. The identity of the “foreign” Myrmica species is shown—the nurse colony was of the other species. See Table 1 for an explanation of colony IDs.
