2. Chemical communication in insects - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_communication_in...

   Pheromones can be used instead of insecticides in orchards. Pest insects are attracted by sex pheromones, allowing farmers to evaluate pest levels, and if need be to provide sufficient pheromone to disrupt mating. Chemical communication in insects is social signalling between insects of the same or different species, using chemicals.

   Myrmica is a genus of ants within the subfamily Myrmicinae. [2] It is widespread throughout the temperate regions of the Holarctic and high mountains in Southeast Asia. [2] [3]The genus consists of around 200 known species and additional subspecies, [2] although this figure is likely to rise as soon as the Chinese and Nearctic fauna lists are revised.

4. Manica rubida - Wikipedia

   These ants feed on insects and honeydew. They are a little aggressive, but they defend only their immediate nesting area. Usually they build their nests under stones, but nests can also occur in the soil. These nests often can reach up to 3 meters depth. Around the large opening of their nests they may deposit sand and earth to form a wide flat ...

   Myrmicinae is a subfamily of ants, with about 140 extant genera; [1] their distribution is cosmopolitan. The pupae lack cocoons. Some species retain a functional sting. The petioles of Myrmicinae consist of two nodes. The nests are permanent and in soil, rotting wood, under stones, or in trees. [2]

6. Insect pheromones - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_pheromones

   Depending on the function, there are different emission and reception scenarios. Ants, for example, emit alarm pheromones intermittently or continuously in the usually windless environment of the anthill. Trace pheromones are emitted by an ant as a moving source. Silkmoth sex pheromones are emitted in discrete scent threads in an air stream. [57]

7. Myrmicini - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrmicini

   Myrmicini is a tribe of ants in the subfamily Myrmicinae. [1] It is not to be confused with the very similar-sounding tribes Myrmecinini (also in subfamily Myrmicinae) and Myrmeciini, which is in the subfamily Myrmeciinae. While the type genus of Myrmicini is Myrmica, that of Myrmeciini is Myrmecia and that of Myrmecinini Myrmecina.
