One of the most widely used means of communication among insects is chemical communication. How do pheromones affect insect behavior?
How are physiological insect defensive mechanisms carried out by the insect circulatory system? Does the size of the insect have any effect on the degree of defense? Justify your stand.
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.

Anurans Most anurans breed in water and rainfall stimulates breeding in many species. Ponds may attract aggregations of anurans during breeding season and males usually are the first to arrive. In most cases, females are attracted by vocalizations by males (see beginning of our lab manual). 1) This display is called “semaphoring”. Why was this behavioral adaptation necessary for this particular frog species?

Entomologists (scientists who study insects) agree that it’s difficult to measure intelligence in insects. However, most say that the social insects (bees and ants) seem to show the highest degree of intelligence. Why do you think social insects are so smart compared to other insects? Provide two reasons in your answer.
The flashing pattern of thefirefly (Lampyridae) is used to attract the opposite sex. Female fireflies only flash back and attract male fireflies who first signal them with a species-specific pattern of light.
Animals attract mates through a variety of behaviors. Diurnal animals tend to rely on visual cues, while nocturnal ones make frequent use of pheromones. In recent years, environmental pollutants called endocrine disruptors are on the rise. Such chemicals mimic hormones in higher-order animals and interfere with the reproductive cycle. Which animal’s reproduction would be most seriously affected in the presence of endocrine disruptors? rats bees fireflies fiddler crabs
