Experimental modulation of external microbiome affects nestmate recognition in harvester ants (Pogonomyrmex barbatus)
Social insects use odors as cues for a variety of behavioral responses, including nestmate recognition. Past research on nestmate recognition indicates cuticular hydrocarbons are important nestmate discriminators for social insects, but other factors are likely to contribute to colony-specific odors...
