DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Adria Leboeuf\nhosted by Sylvia Cremer\nAbstract: Many
  successes in life are based on collaboration. Microorganisms exchange nut
 rients through cross-feeding\, and multicellular organisms are made up of 
 tissues with different metabolic roles and needs. Social insects take this
  collaboration still further\, integrating their behavior and physiology t
 o the extent that a colony can be considered a superorganism. Many ant col
 onies engage in social exchanges of experimentally accessible fluids that 
 contain both exogenously sourced and endogenously produced materials in a 
 behavior called trophallaxis. Some species engage in this behavior infrequ
 ently and only in the presence of certain cues\, while others perform trop
 hallaxis so frequently that this network of fluid exchange creates a socia
 l circulatory system that mediates a form of shared metabolism. I will des
 cribe our work on how the endogenously produced proteins transmitted in th
 ese fluids relate to colony life in the carpenter ant\, how trophallaxis a
 llows a metabolic division of labor and how the globalization of processed
  goods over the trophallactic network has far-reaching implications for ag
 ing\, ecology\, evolution and development.
