This book contains the proceedings of the "First International
Symposium on Insect Pheromones," which was held at Wageningen, The
Netherlands, from March 6 to March 11, 1994. Eighty participants
from 17 countries attended the symposium, which turned out to be a
unique forum for the exchange of the latest worldwide findings on
insect pheromones, an opportunity to discuss and debate unsettled
issues, and a mechanism to define new directions in pheromone
research and foster interdisciplinary collaborations. The meeting
comprised five sessions representing the breadth of disciplinary
interest in pheromones, a typical charac teristic of this research
area. In the sessions the following topics were presented: (1)
control of pheromone production (organized by W. L. Roelofs), (2)
sensory processing of pheromone signals (T. L. Payne), (3)
neuroethology of pheromone mediated responses (T. C. Baker), (4)
use of pheromones in direct control (A. K. Minks and R. T. Card6),
and (5) evolution of pheromone communication (c. LOfstedt). All
sessions started with a series of 30-minute lectures, after which
ample time was reserved for discussion. In each session some
participants were asked to serve as discussants and to initiate and
stimulate discussion, and a rapporteur was recruited to make notes
of these discussions and to summarize the general trends emerging
from the session. The general program ming of the symposium was in
the hands of R. T. Carde, A. K. Minks, and T. L. Payne."
