For many species of insects, lipid pheromones profoundly influence survival, reproduction,
and social organization. Unravelling the chemical language of insects has been the subject …

As a consequence of the diversity of Lepidoptera, including 150,000 described species,
interesting species-specific sex pheromone systems are exhibited in this insect group. The …

A critical event in sexual reproduction is location or recruitment of a mate. In a number of
insect groups, the necessary movements in time and space are often mediated by …

Pheromone-based behaviours are crucial in animals from insects to mammals,, and
reproductive isolation is often based on pheromone differences,,,. However, the genetic …

Animal Communication by Pheromones describes how the behavior of animals is controlled
and influenced by pheromone communication. This book describes the mechanism through …

Pheromone researchers have debated repeatedly the semantics of chemicals that elicit
various types of behavior. It has become obvious, however, that subclassifica tions of …

Inheritance patterns for sex pheromone production in females, pheromone detection on
male antennal olfactory receptor cells, and male pheromone behavioral responses were …

Of 12 potential reproductive isolating barriers between closely related Z-and E-pheromone
strains of the European corn borer moth (Ostrinia nubilalis), seven significantly reduced …

This book focuses on chemicals that effect aggregation for mating and elicit sexual behavior
in insects, mites, and ticks, mainly on" sex pheromonal" or" mating" activity. These …

Although odor perception in general is poorly understood, the insect's peripheral sensing
system-the antenna-is easily accessible and has been studied in great detail (Steinbrecht …
