Pheromone perception

Sipos M.L., Wysocki C.J., Nyby J.G., Wysocki L., et al. (1995) An ephemeral pheromone of female house mice perception via the main and accessory olfactory systems. Physiol Behav 58, 529-534. 

The second volume starts with biochemistry and new insights into pheromone perception and transport by W. Leal. These findings show that specificity is not only achieved by uniquenss of compounds or blends, but also by the perceiving receptors and transport molecules. The following chapters on bugs... 

Many fundamental questions remain to be investigated in the study of these systems. How do reception and perception of pheromone molecules by "eavesdroppers" compare to the same processes in the prey For...
