Chemosensory sensitivity reflects reproductive status in the ant Harpegnathos saltator
Abstract Insects communicate with pheromones using sensitive antennal sensilla. Although trace amounts of pheromones can be detected by many insects, context-dependent increased costs of high sensitivity might lead to plasticity in sensillum responsiveness. We have functionally characterized basicon...
