Pheromones and Animal Behaviour: Communication by Smell and Taste

Pheromones and Animal Behaviour: Communication by Smell and Taste

The importance of chemical communication is illustrated in this study with examples from a diverse range of animals including humans, marine copepods, Drosophila, Caenorhabditis elegans, moths, snakes, goldfish, elephants and mice. For students of ecology, evolution and behavior, Tristram Wyatt provides an introduction to the rapid progress in the understanding of olfaction at the molecular and neurological level. In addition, he offers chemists, molecular biologists and neurobiologists insights into the ecological, evolutionary and behavioral context of olfactory communication.

    This review is from: Pheromones and Animal Behaviour: Communication by Smell and Taste (Paperback)

    Tristram Wyatt’s introductory text on pheromones and animal behavior is clearly written, most terms are defined with pointers to their origins, and terms are consistently used. His presentation is comprehensive in that its follows a list of sexual, alarm, aggregation, recruitment, scent, primer, and orientation pheromones, devoting a chapter to each. He includes summary tables, helpful illustrations, examples from many species, and discussions of the literature to date. He explains the chemistry of chemical signals, the anatomy of production and uptake, and observed biological consequences for reproduction and social organization. Following its list of pheromones, his book closes with a chapter on the preliminary use of pheromones and a chapter on the inconclusive data as to the possibility that humans may use sexual pheromones. Darwinian biology underlies references to theory, but Darwinian evolutionary theory itself is not formally explicated. He reports the familiar just-so stories that Darwinians speculate with, but mostly just reviews the various Darwinian hypotheses on the relation of reproduction to speciation and hedges when data do not support the theory and when the theory does not explain the data. Anyone who wants an overview and update on the technical literature will greatly benefit from this nicely written, professional book.

    I am a 3rd year postdoc in the field of neurosciences. I am interested in olfaction, innate behaviors and neural circuits. Recently I ordered this book and I am very happy with it. It is a must have if you are interested in how olfactory cues can affect behavior and/or physiology. Very very helpful! 5 starts IMHO
