Object use in insects

Insects are the most diverse group of organisms in the animal kingdom,and some species exhibit complex social behaviors.Although research on insect object use is still in its early stages,insects have already been shown to display rich object-use be-haviors.This review focuses on patterns and behavioral flexibility in insect object-use behavior,and the role of cultural evolution in the development of object-use behaviors.Object use in insects is not widespread but has been documented in a diverse set of taxa.Some insects can use objects flexibly and display various object-use patterns.Like mam-mals and birds,insects use objects in diverse activities,including foraging,predator de-fense,courtship,and play.Intelligence,pre-existing manipulative behaviors,and anatom-ical structure affect innovations in object use.In addition,learning and imitation are the main mechanisms underlying the spread of object-use behaviors within populations.Given that insects are one of the major animal groups engaging in object use,studies of insect object use could provide general insights into object use in the animal kingdom.
