Pheromones in aphids serve as chemical signals that communicate various messages among individuals, primarily related to alarm and aggregation. When aphids are threatened, they release alarm pheromones to alert nearby aphids to potential danger, prompting them to flee or take protective measures. Additionally, aggregation pheromones can attract other aphids to a feeding site, promoting group foraging and enhancing survival. Overall, these chemical signals play a crucial role in coordinating behavior and enhancing the survival of aphid colonies.

What is a pheromone and how can it be useful to insects?
Pheromones are used by insects to communicate. Sexual pheromones allow males to track females. Attack or alarm pheromones tell bees to join in the attack on an enemy.
Why are pheromones christened as 'social hormones'?
Pheromones are chemicals that are emitted/secreted by animals that trigger a social response in other animals of the same species. This is why they are "social hormones"- hormones affect behavior, and pheromones cause different social behaviors. There are many different types of pheromones, such as alarm pheromones (e.g. aphids release it when attacked by a predator and it causes them to fly away), food trail pheromones (e.g. ants lay a trail from the nest to where the food is), and sex pheromones (e.g. males secrete it which arouses females around them), among others. In all of these cases, some kind of social behavior is triggered by the releasing of the pheromones.
What are the main types of human pheromones?
There are four types of pheromones in humans: Releaser pheromones, Primer pheromones, Signaller pheromones and Modulator pheromones. These hormones have roles in a wide range of human functions including sexual attraction and the transmission of information.

What functions do pheromones perform?
Pheromones are very important chemical messages that animals use to communicate to each other. Generally, pheromones tell animals of the same species a) the state of reproductive readiness (Male elk for example can tell if a female is ready to mate by smelling her urine to see if there are certain pheromones present indicating that she is ready) or b) the emotional state of the animal (sometimes fish release fear pheromones into the water to warn other fish of a predator) Pheromones are typically inhaled by animals, and the brain determines what the pheromone means. Even humans can interpret what a pheromone means, even though we are not really aware that we are smelling a pheromone.
What are the chemical signals transmitted through water or air?

How are plant pheromones collected?

Are aphids sexual or asexual?
