Abstract
⺠Serotonin (5-HT) depresses sucrose feeding in Camponotus mus ants. ⺠Intake rate decreases in a dose-dependent manner. ⺠This occurs by a diminution in the volume of solution taken per pump contraction. ⺠Oesophagus, crop and proventriculus present 5-HT innervation but sucking-pump does not. ⺠Frontal and suboesophageal ganglions contain 5-HT immunoreactive cell bodies.
