Abstract
Olfaction arguably represents one of the most important sensory modalities for insects. This is especially true for Hymenoptera which engage in a variety of complex olfactory-mediated social behaviors that distinguish them from other insect orders such as Diptera. Indeed, while model insects such as Drosophila melanogaster have played fundamental roles in advancing our understanding of the molecular, cellular, and organismal components of insect olfaction in general, the extension of these studies to a Hymenopteran model species has provided an opportunity to address a broader range of questions related to insect pheromone biology, especially as it pertains to social behavior and evolution.
