Overview

Extracted from the local paper documentation when available.

Colonies of the red harvester ant regulate foraging activity based on food availability and local conditions. Here we quantified tissue content of 4 biogenic amines (dopamine, serotonin, octopamine, and tyramine) in single forager brains from 9 red harvester ant colonies collected in the field. Capillary electrophoresis coupled with fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (CE-FSCV) was used to separate and...
