INSECT COMMUNICATION: HIDDEN MESSAGES BEHIND SURVIVAL
Abstract
The earliest evidence of life on Earth dates back 480 million years, according to palaeontologists. Life evolved from microscopic cellular forms to complex multicellular organisms. Throughout evolutionary history, the advancement of life as a group would not have been possible without cells, tissues, and systems communicating with each other through specific communication mechanisms. It is interesting to study the mechanisms of communication associated with insects and the use of various signals to convey different kinds of information. Insects have a wide range of mechanisms, including acoustic, visual, chemical, and tactile communication. More important is the evolution of animals' use of signals to share information about predators.
