From pheromones to behavior. [PDF]
Physiological Reviews, 2009 In recent years, considerable progress has been achieved in the comprehension of the profound effects of pheromones on reproductive physiology and behavior. Pheromones have been classified as molecules released by individuals and responsible for the elicitation of specific behavioral expressions in members of the same species. These signaling molecules,

Current Biology, 2017 The reality of invisible chemical signals, pheromones, between members of the same species was recognized long before they could be identified. Charles Darwin proposed that the breeding season sexual smells of male crocodiles, goats and other animals, too, could have evolved by sexual selection of the smelliest males through female choice. But it's not

The evolution of female sex pheromones [PDF]
Current Zoology, 2013 The role of female sex pheromones in natural selection, particularly as a means for species recognition to avoid the generation of hybrid offspring with low fitness, has been widely explored and is generally accepted by scholars.

Annual Review of Physiology, 2013 Mammalian pheromones control a myriad of innate social behaviors and acutely regulate hormone levels. Responses to pheromones are highly robust, reproducible, and stereotyped and likely involve developmentally predetermined neural circuits.

Conserved Class of Queen Pheromones Stops Social Insect Workers from Reproducing [PDF]
Science, 2014 Long Live the Queen Eusociality is often considered to have arisen, at least in part, due to the inclusive fitness that workers gain through helping their queen sister to raise her offspring. Van Oystaeyen et al. (p. 287; see the Perspective by Chapuisat)

What Is a Pheromone? Mammalian Pheromones Reconsidered [PDF]
Neuron, 2005 Pheromone communication is a two-component system: signaling pheromones and receiving sensory neurons. Currently, pheromones remain enigmatic bioactive compounds, as only a few have been identified, but classical bioassays have suggested that they are nonvolatile, activate vomeronasal sensory neurons, and regulate innate social behaviors and ...

, 2010 Aphids are the main insect pests of agricultural crops in temperate regions causing major economic losses. Although broad-spectrum insecticides are available for control, alternative and more targeted methods are needed due to insecticide resistance and increasing environmental pressures.

Interactive effects of mating receptivity and courtship pheromones on the scent preferences of female red-legged salamanders. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe behavioral and endocrine responses elicited by pheromones are highly dependent on the sex and physiology of the receiving individual. In the red-legged salamander (Plethodon shermani), male courtship pheromones influence female mating behavior and ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 1968 The evidence for intraspecies chemical communication in insects is reviewed, with emphasis on those studies where known organic compounds have been implicated. These signal-carrying chemicals are known as pheromones.

Ants Sense, and Follow, Trail Pheromones of Ant Community Members [PDF]
Insects, 2019 Ants deposit trail pheromones that guide nestmates to food sources. We tested the hypotheses that ant community members (Western carpenter ants, Camponotus modoc; black garden ants, Lasius niger; European fire ants, Myrmica rubra) (1) sense, and follow ...
