Insect communication is the study of how insects use signals, cues, and behaviors to convey information to one another. This can include chemical signals called pheromones, visual signals such as color patterns or movements, acoustic signals like chirps or buzzing, and tactile signals like touching or vibrations. Insect communication plays a crucial role in mating, foraging, territory defense, and other social interactions within insect populations. Researchers in this field are interested in understanding the mechanisms and evolution of insect communication, as well as its ecological and evolutionary implications.
