contents <p>Animals frequently display aggressive behaviour, for example, when competing for food. Aggression is influenced by various extrinsic and intrinsic factors such as temperature, the microbiome, and genetics. However, we currently lack understanding of what factors cause an animal to start aggression. Here, we use an ant species to test if chemical, microbiome, genomic, and/or transcriptomic traits are associated with the start of aggression and the reactions to it, that is, reacting aggressively or peacefully. We found bacterial operational taxonomic units, mutations in genes, and differentially expressed genes, which were positively or negatively associated with the start of aggression or reactions to it.</p>
