Decisions (i) and (ii), and to some extent (iv), may be similar, but each of them considers foraging strategies at a different level of resource distribution. It is important to consider that resource patches exist at different hierarchical levels (e.g., forest, tree, limb, leaf, etc.) and that each patch level and each patch boundary can be defined by the behavior of the foraging insect. Whatever the patch level, the problem the forager faces is as follows individuals that remain too long in resource-poor areas accumulate resources at lower rates... 

From this extremely brief conspectus it may be clear that the foraging strategies, caste regulation mechanisms, and defensive strategies, all of which may be dependent to a greater or lesser extent on chemical secretions according to the species concerned, show great diversity.
