Few studies are available on the role of interference behavior in structuring competition hierarchy in the ant community. The present study examines the aggressive interference behavior of different ground foraging ant species in a tropical evergreen forest habitat in relation to the positions different species held in the interspecific competition hierarchy. The territorial species, Oecophylla smaragdina was considerably aggressive towards other species and affected their activities even when it was not numerically dominant at the bait. Similarly, species higher in the hierarchy that were more aggressive affected the activities of species lower in the hierarchy at the bait.
