Beskrivning
Pheromones and other kinds of chemical communication underlie the behavior of all animals. Building on the strengths of the first edition, widely recognized as the leading text in the subject, this is a comprehensive overview of how pheromones work. Extensively revised and expanded to cover advances made over the last ten years, the book offers a thorough exploration of the evolutionary and behavioral contexts of chemical communication along with a detailed introduction to the molecular and neural basis of signal perception through olfaction. At a time of ever increasing specialization, Wyatt offers a unique synthesis, integrating examples across the animal kingdom. A final chapter critically considers human pheromones and the importance of olfaction to human biology. Its breadth of coverage and readability make the book an unrivaled resource for students and researchers in a range of fields from chemistry, genetics, genomics, molecular biology and neuroscience to ecology, evolution and behavior.

These broad interests give him a unique vantage point, allowing him to draw together developments across the subject.

Recensioner i media

'Revised and extended since the first edition, this splendid, comprehensive resource covers both 'classic' ideas in the field of chemical communication as well as recent advances … The attractive cover … hints at some of the delights to be found inside with the content aimed at both the serious researcher and those just wanting a good overview of the discipline. All in all, an outstanding textbook and a worthy winner of this year's Society of Biology Book Prize (postgraduate category).' Judges, 2014 Society of Biology Book Awards
