Published in 2006, Chemical Ecology of Vertebrates was the first
book to focus exclusively on the chemically-mediated interactions
between vertebrates including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and
mammals, and other animals and plants. Reviewing research in three
core areas - pheromones (where the interactions are between members
of the same species), interspecific interactions involving
allomones (where the sender benefits) and kairomones (where the
receiver benefits), it pulls together information from widely
scattered technical literature in many different disciplines into a
coherent whole. Chapters on the environment, properties of odour
signals, and production and release of chemosignals set the stage
for discussion of more complex behavioural topics. While the main
focus is ecological, dealing with behaviour and interactions in the
field, it also covers chemoreception, orientation and navigation,
the development of behaviour and the practical applications of
chemosignals.
