From pheromones to behavior.
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, often chemically unrelated, are contained...
متن کاملPheromones and Behavior
Chemical communication is widely used by crustaceans, for example, in sexual interactions, larval release, and planktonic settlement. However, we know the identity of very few of the molecules involved. In this chapter, I introduce pheromones and contrast them with signature mixtures. Pheromones are molecules that are evolved signals, in defined ratios in the case of multiple component pheromon...
متن کاملPheromones, Vomeronasal Function, and Gender-Specific Behavior
The striking behavioral phenotypes of mice lacking the TRP2 ion channel have highlighted the importance of the vomeronasal organ in gender-specific sexual behavior.
متن کاملMammalian Pheromones: From Genes to Behaviour
Knocking-out selected genes for receptors of the vomeronasal organ has been found to impair specific aspects of pheromone-induced behaviour in the mouse. This is not unexpected; less predictable is the finding that deleting the gene for a vomeronasal-organ-specific ion channel causes gender blindness.
متن کاملEvolved differences in larval social behavior mediated by novel pheromones
Pheromones, chemical signals that convey social information, mediate many insect social behaviors, including navigation and aggregation. Several studies have suggested that behavior during the immature larval stages of Drosophila development is influenced by pheromones, but none of these compounds or the pheromone-receptor neurons that sense them have been identified. Here we report a larval ph...
