Banded sugar ant meat ants, which have been observed blocking banded sugar ant nesting holes with pebbles and soil to prevent them from leaving their nest during the early hours of the day. The ants counter this by preventing meat ants from leaving their nest by blocking their nesting holes with debris, a behaviour known as nest-plugging. If meat ant nests are encroached by trees or other shade, banded sugar ants may invade and take over the nest, since the health of the colony may deteriorate from overshadowing. Members of an affected meat ant colony later move to a nearby satellite nest that
Correct name orthographical variants. The zoological equivalent of "correct name" is "valid name". Different taxonomic placements may well lead to different correct names. For example, the earliest name for the fastest growing tree in the world is "Adenanthera falcataria" L. The "L." stands for "Linnaeus" who first validly published the name. "Adenanthera falcataria" is thus one of the correct names for this plant. There are other correct names, based on different taxonomic treatments. The four names "Adenanthera falcataria", "Albizia falcataria", "Paraserianthes falcataria" and "Falcataria moluccana" are each correct, given that the plant is placed in these four genera.
