This extensively revised and expanded book offers a thorough exploration of the evolutionary and behavioral contexts of chemical communication along with a detailed introduction to the molecular and neural basis of signal perception through olfaction.
Pheromones and signature mixtures: defining species-wide signals and variable cues for identity in both invertebrates and vertebrates

The proposed definitions for pheromone and signature mixture are based on the heuristic value of separating these kinds of chemical information, as there is no single signature mixture to find, and it is the differences in signature mixtures which allow animals to distinguish each other.
The search for human pheromones: the lost decades and the necessity of returning to first principles

There is no robust bioassay-led evidence for the widely published claims that four steroid molecules are human pheromones: androstenone, androstanol, and Frostadienone and estratetraenol.
How a subsocial intertidal beetle, Bledius spectabilis, prevents flooding and anoxia in its burrow

Maternal care, in particular the combination of behaviours which protect the brood from the tide and anoxia, enables this airbreathing insect to colonise the inhospitable habitat of the intertidal saltmarsh.
Are vectors able to learn about their hosts? A case study with Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.

The goal was to determine whether the mosquitoes were able to associate unconditional stimuli with particular odours and visual patterns to which they had been previously observed to be responsive, and found no evidence supporting the hypothesis that associative learning abilities are present in adult Ae.
Flying Beetles Respond as Moths Predict: Optomotor Anemotaxis to Pheromone Plumes at Different Heights

- 1 July 1998
Results are presented of the first test of a set of predictions, the effect of flight height on ground speed, on a beetle, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), suggesting that they use orientation mechanism similar to those of moths.

Powerful chemical signals have been identified in moths, elephants and fish, but the race is still on to capture human scents, says Tristram D. Wyatt.
