Abstract
⺠S. peetersi and P. mandibularis are ecologically similar, but differ in dispersal. ⺠S. peetersi nests are spatially aggregated, but P. mandibularis are overdispersed. ⺠Conspecific aggression in S. peetersi increases with nest distance. ⺠Aggression in S. peetersi is sensitive to familiarity between individuals. ⺠Aggression patterns and dispersal methods explain nest distributions.
