Ants carry colony-specific blends of cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) on their exoskeleton as
nestmate-discriminative pheromones and use them for social communication. To …

To maintain the eusociality of a colony, ants recognize subtle differences in colony-specific
sets of cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs). The CHCs are received by female-specific antennal …

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 …

Communication between members of the same colony is critical for the success of any
eusocial organism. Eusocial insects rely heavily on their olfactory systems to recognize …

The sophisticated organization of eusocial insect societies is largely based on the regulation
of complex behaviors by hydrocarbon pheromones present on the cuticle. We used …

Ants are known to use a colony-specific blend of cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) as a
pheromone to discriminate between nestmates and non-nestmates and the CHCs were …
