Termite nest prevents workers in suicide attack "chemical weapons" - their body explode and spray poison the invaders mixtures. This type of termite defense Neocapritermes taracua inhabiting the forests of South America Guyana describe Czech scientists from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry AS CR. Chemical weapons have only older workers who are sterile, and because they do not wish to pass on their genes, do not have to worry about their own salvation, but the survival of the colony.
Mechanism of suicidal weapon is the chemical reaction of two components: the blue "crystals" protein origin that termites are stored in special pockets outside the body, and secretions of the salivary glands. These two compounds react in a drop hemolymph after bursting body worker to produce a liquid which is toxic for the competing species. Scientists have studied the toxicity of both components of venom collected from young and old individuals, and found that it is ready toxic compounds produced by old individuals. Young termite workers pevec engaged in other activities within the colony and the skill to acquire when they can sacrifice pevec for the benefit of their species.
Kamikaze tactics chemical is evolutionarily very convenient - mostly pevec using it for termite infestation pevec competing species Labiotermes labralis. Suicidal behavior in insect societies is not unusual - they are known as mass suicides disorder (CCD - Colony colapse Disorder, pevec a colony collapse pevec syndrome).
