Chemical Communication, the language of pheromones

Article number 10123638

Chemical Communication: The Language of Pheromones by William C. Agosta introduces readers to the fascinating world of pheromones and their role in chemical communication. The book explains how insects, animals, and even humans use pheromones to send signals that regulate mating, territory, defense, and social organization. Drawing on chemistry, biology, and ecology, Agosta demonstrates how specific molecules trigger complex behaviors, and how these discoveries are applied in agriculture, pest control, and medicine. Written for the Scientific American Library, the book makes cutting-edge science accessible and richly illustrated.
