What is Sex‐specific antennal sensory system in the ant Camponotus japonicus : Glomerular organizations of antennal lobes about?
## Abstract Ants have well‐developed chemosensory systems for social lives. The goal of our study is to understand the functional organization of the ant chemosensory system based on caste‐ and sex‐specific differences. Here we describe the common and sex‐specific glomerular organizations in the primary olfactory center, the antennal lobe of the carpenter ant __Camponotus japonicus__. Differential labeling of the two antennal nerves revealed distinct glomerular clusters innervated by seven sensory tracts (T1–T7 from ventral to dorsal) in the antennal lobe. T7 innervated 10 glomeruli, nine of which received thick axon terminals almost exclusively from the ventral antennal nerve. Coelocapitular (hygro‐/thermoreceptive), coeloconic (thermoreceptive), and ampullaceal (CO~2~‐receptive) sensilla, closely appositioned in the flagellum, housed one or three large sensory neurons supplying thick axons exclusively to the ventral antennal nerve. These axons, therefore, were thought to project into T7 glomeruli in all three castes. Workers and virgin females had about 140 T6 glomeruli, whereas males completely lacked these glomeruli. Female‐specific basiconic sensilla (cuticular hydrocarbon‐rec
