H. H. Shorey s volume "Animal Communication by Pheromones" (1976) is claimed to be the first single-authored monograph to deal with pheromones.

Pheromones, chemicals secreted by animals, influence the behavior of other members of the same species. They often represent the major means of communication among simpler animals. The term pheromone literally means "to carry" and "to excite" (Greek, pherein, to carry Greek, horman, to excite). They are chemicals carried or shed by one member of the species and used to alert other members of the species.

Two attempts have been made to identify the source of the pheromones used in territorial communication by salamanders. The first was by Simon and Madison (1984), using experimental procedure (4) and Plethodon cinereus. They provided each male salamander with a choice of two substrates, each marked with either fecal pellets or cloacal washes. On one side, the pellets (or washes) were the test animal s own on the other side, the pellets (or washes) were from a conspecific. None of the salamanders had prior experience with each other. For both pellets and washes, salamanders significantly chose their own marked substrates over those of conspecifics. This was the first indication that fecal pellets are used to place pheromones in territories. In addition, the data from cloacal washes suggest that pheromones are produced by glands in or around the cloaca, and are not a by-product of the chemical composition of the feces per se.
