Chemical Signals in Vertebrates 3

Chemical Signals in Vertebrates 3 by Dietland Müller-Schwarze, Robert M. Silverstein.

The first volume in this series appeared in 1977, the second in 1980. From these volumes and the present one, some research trends in chemical communication can be perceived. In the 1977 volume, studies on 13 animal taxa were reported. In the present volume, the number is 25. This taxonomie diversi­...
