Carpenter ant standard size of carpenter ant colonies elsewhere. When workers find food sources, they communicate this information to the rest of the nest. They use biochemical pheromones to mark the shortest path that can be taken from the nest to the source. When a sizable number of workers follows this trail, the strength of the cue increases and a foraging trail is established. This ends when the food source is depleted. The workers will then feed the queen and the larvae by consuming the food they have found, and regurgitating the food at the nest. Foraging trails can either be under
Correct name orthographical variants. The zoological equivalent of "correct name" is "valid name". Different taxonomic placements may well lead to different correct names. For example, the earliest name for the fastest growing tree in the world is "Adenanthera falcataria" L. The "L." stands for "Linnaeus" who first validly published the name. "Adenanthera falcataria" is thus one of the correct names for this plant. There are other correct names, based on different taxonomic treatments. The four names "Adenanthera falcataria", "Albizia falcataria", "Paraserianthes falcataria" and "Falcataria moluccana" are each correct, given that the plant is placed in these four genera.
