Description
Book SynopsisCommon among moths is a mate-finding system in which females emit a pheromone that induces males to fly upwind along the pheromone plume. This book summarizes moth pheromone biology, covering the chemical structures used by the various lineages, signal production and perception, the genetic control of moth pheromone traits, and more.
Trade Review"This is not just a rehash of what is known, but brings new information, and challenges, to the reader... I will sum up by saying congratulations to the editors, Jeremy Allison and Ring Cardé for their efforts, and to all who are reading this, "Please Purchase this Book!!"" * Journal of Chemical Ecology *
