   Неотропический вид Pachycondyla marginata организует охотничьи рейды на гнезда термитов Neocapritermes opacus и часто переселяются на новые места в новые гнезда. В обоих случаях используется коммуникация с помощью химических следов. Следовые феромоны вырабатываются в пигидиальной железе, наиболее эффективным из них был citronellal. Isopulegol elicited an increase in locomotory activity in the ants and may function as a synergist recruitment signal. The chemical signal is enhanced by a shaking display performed by the recruiting ant.

    When disturbed, two species of Malayan Pachycondyla release foam threads more than 10 cm in length or foam piles. The source of the proteinaceous foam is the enlarged venom gland, which is probably frothed up by air from the spiracles of the spiracular plates. The Dufour's gland normally producing hydrocarbons in stinging ants is atrophied. Therefore, absence of the Dufour's gland could be essential to the foaming ability, since the lipophilic hydrocarbons inhibit froth production in protein solutions. The release of foam is a mechanically acting defense mechanism, which is very effective against small mass-attacking ants. Pachycondyla species are also able to sting effectively.

    Morphological traits of the pretarsa, especially the tarsal claws and arolia, of 15 arboreal or ground-dwelling species of the genus Pachycondyla demonstrate that two types of morphologies exist. All of the arboreal and three of the ground-dwelling species have a well-developed arolium in the form of an adhesive pad, whereas the others do not. Moreover, the tarsal claws are spread and horn-shaped in the species of the first group, whereas they are straight and relatively close together in the species without the adhesive pad. The ability to walk upside down is strictly correlated to the presence of the pad. If a large adhesive pad cannot be considered as a morphological adaptation to arboreal life, it, at least, constitutes an indispensable characteristic for the advent of arboreal behavior.
