Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 16, Page 8741-8754, August 2020., 2020 We investigate the behavioral dynamics of the encounter between an obligate inquiline termite and its host termite species. Hosts are aggressive toward inquilines. When threatened or even physically injured by hosts, inquilines react with low aggressiveness, exhibiting a repertoire of evasive manoeuvres that prevent conflict escalation.
