Aggressive behavior and brain serotonin and catecholamines in ants (Formica rufa)
Abstract
Serotonin, adrenaline and noradrenaline were analyzed in brains of the ants, Formica rufa. Experiments demonstrated that concentrations of both serotonin and adrenaline were higher in ants that displayed aggressiveness (interspecific and intrageneric) while concentrations of noradrenaline was decreased.
