Courtship pheromones are not necessarily species specific. Pairs of the woodland salamander, Plethodon shermani, courted for an equally long time (about 35 to 50 minutes) whether male pheromone from the mental gland of conspecifics or the allopatric species P. montanus or P. yonahlosscc was present, even though the composition of the proteinacous pheromones (plethodontid receptivity factor of these three species differ considerably (Rollmann et al, 2003). 

Dry salt grass, Distichlis stricta, has high levels of phenolics after fruiting. Cinnamic acids and their vinyl phenols lower uterus weight, inhibit follicular development, and lead to cessation of reproductive activity in the montane vole Microtus montanus. Specific active compounds are 4-vinylguaiacol and 4-vinylphenol, and alsop-coumaric acid (4-hydroxycinnamic acid) (Berger etal, 1977).
