The combination of reduced mandibles and the presence of well-developed mandibular muscles suggests that the pressure leading to the secretion ejection is indeed created by the mandibular muscles (Holmgren, 1909; Quennedey, 1984), but without the direct junction between the muscles and the frontal gland reservoir. [...] The development and structural organization of the frontal gland to the pheromone function for the first time in termites. [...] The actual running speed of soldiers (A) and workers (B) in the course of the experiment, and the total number of shaking behaviours counted from all recordings (C). [...] Concerning the alarm function, Anatomical source of alarm signal termites and Cryptocercus evolved alarm communication using The structural analysis was carried out through optical and electron body vibrations, and the use of alarm pheromones evolved twice microscopy in order to find evidence for the functional role of the frontal among termites, in Mastotermes (Delattre et al., 2015) and in gland. [...] The ‘frontal glands’ treatment provides Alarm behaviour was bioassayed in the lab aiming to inspect the chemical mostly alarm pheromones (they are the natural reservoir of this kind of nature of the alarm observed in the field.
