Ant aggression towards ecitophiles in relation to their a dry weight and b CHC host similarity. The aggression index gives the sum of aggressive interactions (attempt of chasing, snapping, stinging, and seizing) divided by the total number of contacts. CHC host similarity is given as Bray–Curtis similarity of a given ecitophile to the average worker profile of its colony of origin. Colors depict the morphological gestalt of ecitophiles and data point size indicates the number of contacts
