Abstract

Socijalni parazitizam jedan je od najzastupljenijih međuodnosa u društvenim zajednicama
mrava (Formicidae). U ovom obliku nametništva nametnici iskorištavaju društvenu strukturu i
mehanizme zajednice domaćina za brigu o potomstvu i za pronalazak i prikupljanje hrane.
Socijalni parazitizam može se podijeliti na četiri skupine međuodnosa: ksenobiozu,
privremeno nametništvo, dulozu i inkvilinizam. Nametnici su, ovisno o skupini kojoj
pripadaju, razvili morfološke i kemijske prilagodbe, poput kemijske mimikrije, kemijske
kamuflaže i kemijske beznačajnosti. Zbog sve većeg zanimanja znanstvenika za socijalni
parazitizam cilj ovog rada je navesti karakteristike svake od skupina socijalnog parazitizma,
ali i opisati samu evoluciju socijalnog parazitizma u sklopu Emeryevog pravila te prilagodbe
koje su razvili nametnici i domaćini.

Abstract (english)

Social parasitism is one of the most represented interspecific relations in ant colonies. In this
type of parasitism parasites exploit social structures and interactions of host colonies for
brood care and foraging. Social parasitism can be divided into four groups: xenobiosis,
temporary parasitism, dulosis and inquilinism. Parasites have, depending on the group they
belong, developed morphological and chemical adaptations, like chemical mimicry, chemical
camouflage and chemical insignificance. Because of the ever-growing interest in social
parasitism, the goal of this review is to describe the characteristics of every group of social
parasitism, but also to describe the evolution of social parasitism in reference to Emery's rule
and the adaptations of parasites and hosts.
