Octopamine and tyramine respectively regulate attractive and repulsive behavior in locust phase changes

Abstract: Aggregative and solitary behaviors are universal phenomena in animals. Interestingly, locusts (Locusta migratoria) can reversibly transit their behavior between gregarious and solitary phase through conspecific attraction and repulsion. However, the regulatory mechanism of neurotransmitters underlying attraction and repulsion among locusts remains unknown. In this study, we found gregarious and solitary locusts were attracted or repulsed respectively by gregarious volatiles. Solitary locusts can transform thei… Show more

“…A role for OCT in kin recognition and other complex conspecific social behaviors within colonies has also been shown (Schulz and Robinson, 2001;Spivak et al, 2003;Lehman et al, 2006;Ma et al, 2015). Finally, OCT has been reported to play a role in mediating aggressive behaviors (Stevenson et al, 2005;Hoyer et al, 2008;Rillich et al, 2011).…”

“…Their receptors are not restricted to the nervous system but rather are distributed throughout the body (Saraswati et al, 2004;Roeder, 2005;Vierk et al, 2009;Ma et al, 2015). Although responses to TYR have generally received less attention, when both have been studied, TYR generally induces responses opposite to those of OCT (Saraswati et al, 2004;Ma et al, 2015).…”
