Chemical Ecology and Social Parasitism in Ants

A review of chemical ecology and social parasitism in ants. The companion cites it for social parasites that enter ant colonies wearing the colony's odor, an analogy for prompt injection: text an agent mistakes for instructions because it mimics the formats the agent trusts. It frames agents as prey entered by mimicry in the food web.
