The paper examines whether queen loss triggers physiological and transcriptional changes in workers of Lasius neglectus, finding no such response, suggesting physiological independence.

This study shows that exposure to non-nestmate odours alters the odorant receptor profile in Acromyrmex echinatior ants, suggesting a peripheral mechanism for colony-specific olfactory adaptation.

This study shows ants associatively learn recognition labels of both friends and enemies during encounters, leading to varied individual decisions that are coordinated at the colony level for more accurate recognition.
