Human pheromones and sexual attraction.
Olfactory communication is very common amongst animals, and since the discovery of an accessory olfactory system in humans, possible human olfactory communication has gained considerable scientific interest. The importance of the human sense of smell has by far been underestimated in the past. Humans and other primates have been regarded as primarily 'optical animals' with highly developed powe...
متن کاملDo Ant Brood Pheromones Exist?
A brood pheromone is a chemical or mixture of chemicals released by immature stages that elicits a behavioral response in conspecific adults. The current literature devoted to brood pheromones in several ant species does not prove the existence of such a pheromone or even of brood-specific chemicals. The possibility of a food response or a nestmate recognition response, two of the most confound...
متن کاملDo pheromones reveal male immunocompetence?
Pheromones function not only as mate attractors, but they may also relay important information to prospective mates. It has been shown that vertebrates can distinguish, via olfactory mechanisms, major histocompatibility complex types in their prospective mates. However, whether pheromones can transmit information about immunocompetence is unknown. Here, we show that female mealworm beetles (Ten...
متن کاملSexual pheromones and mating responses in fungi.
Sexual development in fungi is initiated by the fusion of haploid cells that are morphologically indistinguishable. However, they can fuse only if they are of different mating types. In general, the term “mating type” defines all specific activities of a cell that are necessary to go from the haploid to the diploid stage and to continue on to meiosis. The mating type is determined by the geneti...
متن کاملDo human menstrual-cycle pheromones exist?
Research over the past 15 years indicates, contrary to earlier results, that women do not synchronize their menstrual cycles. If women do not synchronize their cycles, this implies there is no mechanism for synchronizing cycles. Since a pheromone mechanism of synchronization is the only plausible mechanism that has been proposed, it follows that that there are no pheromones that modulate the le...
