The Role of Dopamine in the Collective Regulation of Foraging in Harvester Ants
Summary: Colonies of the red harvester ant (Pogonomyrmex barbatus) differ in how they regulate collective foraging activity in response to changes in humidity. We used transcriptomic, physiological, and pharmacological experiments to investigate the molecular basis of this ecologically important var...
