Abstract
Some social animals can recognize and respond to the distress of group members. While well documented in mammals, such behaviour has also independently evolved in ants. To uncover the molecular basis of this social trait, we compared gene expression in the central and peripheral nervous system of Cataglyphis nigra workers differing in rescue propensity. RNA-seq of mushroom bodies, optic lobes, central brain and antennae revealed nine genes upregulated across all tissues of rescuers, including those encoding cytochrome P450-9e2 (CYP9E2) and arginase, and immune-related genes such as the defensin (DEFA) and serine protease snake (snk) genes. The mushroom bodies showed the strongest signal, including genes involved in juvenile hormone signalling, polyamine synthesis and immune function. These results suggest that the immune pathways and polyamine metabolism modulate social responsiveness or alarm-cue detection in ants. In contrast, morphological and physiological traits did not differ between rescuers and non-rescuers, indicating that rescue behaviour propensity is governed by the activity of the nervous system.

Tracing map
Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.
What the map holds:
- 1 repository of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
- 1 script, each with its path and the digest of its content;
- 10 matches between paragraphs of the paper and lines of the code (method lexical-v1);
- neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.
Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.
Data
