TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the development of genetics in Harpegnathos establishes this ant species as a model organism to study the complexity of eusociality and striking functions of Orco in odorant perception, reproductive physiology, and social behavior plasticity are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embryo Injections for CRISPR-Mediated Mutagenesis in the Ant Harpegnathos saltator.
TL;DR: In this paper, a protocol of CRISPR-mediated mutagenesis in Harpegnathos saltator, a ponerine ant species that displays striking phenotypic plasticity, is presented.

TL;DR: The results show that Orco exhibits a conserved role in the perception of general odorants but also a role in reproductive physiology and social behavior plasticity in ants, and in contrast to other insect systems, the loss of OR functionality also dramatically reduces the development of the ant antennal lobe where ORNs project.
