Social insects frequently engage in oral fluid exchange – trophallaxis – between adults, and between adults and larvae. Although trophallaxis is normally considered a simple food-sharing mechanism, we hypothesized that endogenous components of this fluid might underlie a novel means of chemical comm...

Study of the protein composition of the trophallactic fluid of the carpenter ant Camponotus floridanus. Samples were analyzed from ants with different functions (Nurse, Forager) coming from colonies with different ages (mature, young) either kept in lab or grown under natural conditions.

Socially exchanged fluids, such as seminal fluid and milk, are a direct means through which an organism can influence conspecifics. When orally feeding larval offspring via trophallaxis, workers of the carpenter ant Camponotus floridanus were recently shown to transfer Juvenile Hormone III (JH), a k...
