Notes This volume examines pheromones, the chemical signals that animals release to communicate with other members of their species. These substances orchestrate a wide variety of activities; they can attract mates, warn of danger, mark territories, lead to sources of food. The book ably conveys the variety and importance of pheromones from single-celled organisms to human beings. It demonstrates the universality of certain pheromonal structures, which occur repeatedly, offering clues to the evolutionary connection among organisms. [goodreads.com]
