The Odorant Binding Protein, SiOBP5, Mediates Alarm Pheromone Olfactory Recognition in the Red Imported Fire Ant, <i>Solenopsis invicta</i>

Olfaction is crucial in mediating various behaviors of social insects such as red imported fire ants, <i>Solenopsis invicta</i> Buren. Olfactory receptor (OR) complexes consist of odor-specific ORs and OR co-receptors (Orco). Orcos are highly conserved across insect taxa and are widely c...
