Camponotus ants

Formic acid seems to be a recruitment signal of several Camponotus ants.229 365 In contrast, it has been described as a signal to repel conspecifics in Camponotus obscuripes,366... [Pg.168]

Cis-p-ocimene applied topically to Camponotus ants induces paralysis, but the action of the sesquiterpenes is not known. Cis-p-ocimene which has a fairly pungent odour noticeable when a Syntermes nest is opened, has also been assayed as a feeding inhibitor to the giant anteater, Myrmecophaga tridactyla, which is an important mammalian termite predator in S. America. The time captive anteaters spent feeding from a box containing meat, bread and milk with a sample of synthetic cis-/3-ocimene was significantly less than from a box without the chemical (Coles, 1980). [Pg.498]

In addition to the Drosophila sex pheromone CHCs mentioned above, it is well known that CHCs are used by ants for various chemical communications nestmate recognition, caste discrimination, etc. (see related chapters). In various ant species, chemical analysis of the body surface materials suggested that the colony-specific blends of a multi-component CHC mixture act as the nestmate-discriminative pheromone (Bonavita-Cougourdan et al., 1987 Yamaoka, 1990 Howard, 1993 Vander Meer and Morel, 1998 Howard and Blomquist, 2005). In a Japanese carpenter ant, Camponotus japonicus, the CHC pheromone, consisting of 18 CHC components of 20-40 carbons, is used as a chemical cue for nestmate and non-nestmate discrimination (Yamaoka, 1990). Because of the antennation behavior for inspecting encountered ants, the CHC-sensitive sensillum was expected to be discovered on the antenna. [Pg.209]
