Question
which of the following pheromones helps regulate population density?○ epideictic pheromones○ aggregation pheromones○ territorial pheromones○ sex pheromones
Epideictic pheromones are specifically used by organisms to signal crowded conditions, which in turn helps regulate population density by discouraging further aggregation in an area. Aggregation pheromones attract individuals to a group, territorial pheromones mark and defend spaces, and sex pheromones facilitate mating, none of which directly regulate population density in the targeted way epideictic pheromones do.
