Mate choice mating strategies

Moore, A. J. and Moore, P. J. (1988). Female strategy during mate choice threshold assessment. Evolution 42 387-391. 

Using a bioassay-driven purification strategy (Fig. 19.1), a number of sex pheromones were identified including such diverse molecules as ketones, uric acid, peptides, and L-ovothiol-A (Zeeck et al. 1988 Rohl et al. 1999 Ram et al. 1999). This has led to recent studies investigating the biological functions of pheromones, such as mate tracking and mate choice (Ram et al. 2008).
