Table 1 Clock components of Camponotus floridanus and their gene expression patterns in forager and nurse brains. The table below lists the C. floridanus homologs of several Drosophila core-clock, clock-modulator and clock-output genes. The periodicity (tau) of rhythmic gene expression in the brain, if any, is indicated for both foragers and nurses. The one-to-one ortholog of the identified C. floridanus gene in mammals and honeybees is also provided. A dash in the periodicity column indicates that no significant daily rhythms were detected for the C. floridanus gene, whereas a dash in the ortholog columns indicates that no one-to-one orthologs of the C. floridanus gene was detected. The genes that show differential rhythmicity, oscillating at two distinct periodicities, in the two ant castes are shown in bold
