Cuticular hydrocarbon profiles differ between ant body parts: implications for communication and our understanding of CHC diffusion

Insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) serve as communication signals and protect against desiccation. They form complex blends of up to 150 different compounds. Due to differences in molecular packing, CHC classes differ in melting point. Communication is especially important in social insects like a...
