Detailed explanation-1: -Scientists now suggest there are four kinds of human pheromones-primers, releasers, modulators and “signalers” that provide information to the recipient without directly altering behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aggregation pheromones gather conspecifics near the pheromone source, either by attracting them from a distance (attractant activity) or inducing passing conspecifics to remain at the pheromone source (arrestant activity)3. These pheromones can comprise a sole compound or multiple compounds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Epideictic pheromones are mainly used to indicate where female insects lay their eggs. Food pheromones are often associated with trail pheromones; they are associated with species that employ volatile hydrocarbons to steer their actions toward breeding to survive.
