Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chemically identified releaser pheromones are of three basic types: those which cause sexual attraction, alarm behavior, and recruitment.
