Presented as a monomodal signal, the pheromone attracts nestmates, whereas vibratory signals cause nestmates to “freeze” or to run fast. Sensing a bimodal signal complex, nestmates are less attracted to pheromone but stay “frozen” longer which seems ...

Long sensilla basiconica are present in females and could play a role in the host location and/or maternal care. Multiporous sensilla chaetica, longer and mostly represented in males, could play a role in intraspecific relationships ...
