A fanning honeybee exposes Nasonov's gland (white – at tip of abdomen) releasing pheromone to entice swarm into an empty hive. A pheromone (from Ancient Greek φέρω (phérō) 'to bear', and hormone) is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species.Pheromones are chemicals capable of acting like hormones outside the body of the ...
26 de abr. de 2024 · pheromone, any endogenous chemical secreted in minute amounts by an organism in order to elicit a particular reaction from another organism of the same species. Pheromones are widespread among insects and vertebrates; they are also found in crustaceans but are unknown among birds. The chemicals may be secreted by special glands or incorporated ...
19.2. QUEST FOR DISCOVERING HUMAN PHEROMONES. The search for human pheromones came to the fore soon after Alex Comfort published his influential 1971 Nature paper entitled Likelihood of Human Pheromones (Comfort 1971).However, nearly a half century has elapsed since this paper was published and a strong argument can be made that no chemical or simple set of chemicals has been identified that ...

15 de nov. de 2006 · The revolution in our understanding of vertebrate pheromonal communication has been, and will continue to be, driven by molecular-genetic approaches. However, an important limitation is that our ...
From the most gregarious to the most solitary, all animals have to coordinate their activity with other members of their species if they are to survive and reproduce. This requires some form of communication, which for the majority of animals involves the use of chemical signals, known as pheromones. Karlson and Luscher (1959) initially proposed the term pheromone. They defined pheromones as ...
1 de jul. de 2015 · Abstract. For many species of insects, lipid pheromones profoundly influence survival, reproduction, and social organization. Unravelling the chemical language of insects has been the subject of intense research in the field of chemical ecology for the past five decades. Characterizing the forms, functions, and biosynthesis of lipid pheromones ...
