The role of chemical communication in mate choice.

Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society - 1 May 2007

Johansson Björn G, Jones Therésa M

Abstract excerpt

Chemical signals are omnipresent in sexual communication in the vast majority of living organisms. The traditional paradigm was that their main purpose in sexual behaviour was to coordinate mate and species recognition and thus pheromones were conserved in structure and function. In recent years, this view has been challenged by theoretical analyses on the evolution of pheromones and empirical reports of mate...
