Olfactory receptors are required for social behavior and neural plasticity in ants, as evidenced by CRISPR-mediated gene knockout

2017-05-25

Abstract excerpt

The chemosensory system is key to establishing and maintaining social structure in eusocial insects. Ants exhibit cooperative colonial behaviors reflective of an advanced form of sociality with an extensive dependency on communication. Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) serve as pheromones and cues that regulate multiple aspects of social interactions and behaviors in ants. The perception of CHCs entails odorant recept...
