An oxytocin/vasopressin-related neuropeptide modulates social foraging behavior in the clonal raider ant.

An oxytocin/vasopressin-related neuropeptide modulates social foraging behavior in the clonal raider ant.

Oxytocin/vasopressin-related neuropeptides are highly conserved and play major roles in regulating social behavior across vertebrates. However, whether their insect orthologue, inotocin, regulates the behavior of social groups remains unknown. Here, we show that in the clonal raider ant Ooceraea bir...
