metadata.value: The spatial distribution of obligate dominant ant species, which includes four
  species of the genus Formica: F. exsecta, F. lugubris, F. aquilonia and F. uralensis,
  and differentiation of multispecies settlements has been studied in the eastern
  Kuzokotsky Peninsula (northern Karelia, Russia). F. exsecta and F. lugubris were
  present in remote single colonies, groups of two or three nests, single-species
  complexes of no more than ten nests, or larger multispecies settlements. F. aquilonia
  formed a small complex within one of the multispecies settlements. The
  nests of F. uralensis were single. Significant preference of F. exsecta to aggregate
  with F. lugubris was revealed in two permanent multispecies settlements; such
  a preference is atypical for these species in other areas. The nests of F. aquilonia
  were aggregated only with the nests of their own species. Presumably, the settlement
  of F. lugubris was facilitated by capturing the active nests of F. exsecta.
  This is confirmed by the reported case of capture of one F. exsecta nest by an
  adjacent colony of F. lugubris, as well as by similar cases repeatedly described
  by other authors. The change of the host species did not violate the spatial
  structure of the settlement. Thus, a unique structure of settlements of obligate
  dominant ant species with complicated interactions among them has been described
  in northern Karelia.
