Chapter 53.8, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The role of courtship signals generated for reproductive isolation.
Introduction: The female and male animals release some signals which are generated for the purpose of reproduction in organisms. The courtship signals are released as a behavioral mechanism in various animals. The production of pheromones is an example of courtship signal, which is produced by ants.
