Termite pheromones
Termite pheromones are chemical signals released by termites to communicate with one another. These substances help coordinate various activities within the colony, such as foraging for food, building tunnels, and alerting others to danger. Different pheromones serve specific purposes, like marking trails to food sources or signaling alarm. By detecting these pheromones, termites can efficiently work together and maintain the colony's structure and resources. This chemical communication is crucial for the survival and organization of termite societies.
