BIOL 310 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Waggle Dance, Trigona (Bee), Mantis Shrimp
Document Summary
Signals can mean different things based on the context: metacommunicaiton. When one display changes the meaning of any displays that follow. Ex: when a dog play bows it means the things they are about to do are not aggressive, they want to play chemical communication: pheromone: species-species chemical/odor cue used for communication. But aquatic species do it more because they can release the odor into the water. The first level of communication was seen in trigona species- they would (cid:272)o(cid:373)e i(cid:374)to the hi(cid:448)e a(cid:374)d (cid:448)i(cid:271)(cid:396)atio(cid:374) (cid:272)(cid:396)azily sayi(cid:374)g (cid:862)hey (cid:272)o(cid:373)e look (cid:449)hat i just fou(cid:374)d(cid:863) a(cid:374)d othe(cid:396) (cid:449)o(cid:396)ke(cid:396) (cid:271)ees (cid:449)ould go out a(cid:374)d look fo(cid:396) it. The second level was also seen in the trigona species, but when they found a good food source they would mark it with a pheromone, and lay a trail of pheromones the whole way back to the hive. Four was the dance was being done but outside of the hive.
