Social parasites employ diverse strategies to deceive and infiltrate their hosts in order to
benefit from stable resources. Although escape behaviours are considered an important part …

Ants use various communication channels to regulate their social organisation. The main
channel that drives almost all the ants' activities and behaviours is the chemical one, but it is …

Insect societies require an effective communication system to coordinate members' activities.
Although eusocial species primarily use chemical communication to convey information to …

The possession of an efficient communication system and an ability to distinguish between
young stages are essential attributes that enable eusocial insects to live in complex …

Cryptic sympatric species arise when reproductive isolation is established in sympatry,
leading to genetically divergent lineages that are highly similar morphologically or virtually …
