One of the most widely used means of communication among insects is chemical communication. How do pheromones affect insect behaviour? Cite two types of pheromones except sex pheromones and give an example of insect aside from bees that employ each specific type of pheromone.
Serotonin has been shown to be sufficient to trigger the development of the gregarious form of the migratory desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria). What predictions must have been tested to arrive at this conclusion? You should know that you can inject serotonin as well as drugs that disable serotonin directly into nymphal locusts.

The squirrel is trying to attract the owl into its territory. The squirrels cannot see red objects, and so do not make alarm sounds. 0000arrow_forwardExplain the Communication among bees ?

- In an investigation of fruit fly behavior, an enclosed choice chamber was used to test whether the spatial distribution of flies is affected by the presence of a substance placed at one end of the chamber. To test the flies’ preference for different substances, 50 flies were introduced into the choice chamber. A piece of ripe banana was placed at the end of the chamber on side A and a piece of unripe banana was placed at the end of the chamber on side B (Figure 1). The positions of the flies were observed and recorded at the start of the experiment and after 10 minutes (Table 1).arrow_forwardharmless scarlet king snake and a venomous eastern coral snake have similar band patterns, as shown below.
