Intraspecific communication activates chemoreceptors, leading to coordinated responses in organisms, including behavioral changes and hormone modulation. Animals release chemical signals, known as pheromones, to communicate their presence and regulate social and reproductive interactions. Recent advances in understanding the neural processing of these signals have emerged over the past two decades. This work delves into the role of chemical senses in intraspecific communication, offering a comprehensive overview of the latest research. It includes data from various species, from invertebrates to vertebrates, covering a range of organisms such as insects, Drosophila, honey bees, amphibians, mice, tigers, and cattle, and even addresses the contentious subject of human pheromones. The book examines the structure, anatomy, electrophysiology, and molecular biology of pheromones, detailing how these chemical signals function across different species. It serves as an essential reference for students and researchers in the field of pheromones and is also valuable for those engaged in behavioral phenotyping of animal models and individuals interested in the biology and ecology of both wild and domestic species.
