Summary Introduction
To review:
The effectiveness of the alarm pheromone in a hive in comparison to the other senses such as hearing and light.

In a beehive, worker bees have the receptors for the alarm pheromones and are involved in the protection of the hive during the time of threat. Alarm pheromones are one of the several pheromones, which are produced by the bees, in order to communicate among themselves.

- One of the most widely used means of communication among insects is chemical communication. How do pheromones affect insect behavior?arrow_forwardIn 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_forwardHow are physiological insect defensive mechanisms carried out by the insect circulatory system?
