Pheromones - an evolutionary trick?
Female pheromones - airborne chemical messengers - may have evolved to trick men's thought processes: they can block men's ability to judge women's attractiveness. view more (1998-12-03)
'Hansel and Gretel' ants use geometry to find their way home
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have discovered that Pharaoh ants use angles to determine the direction of a trail, informing them whether they're travelling to or from the nest. The study, published in Nature on 16 December, explains how ants know which direction they are travelling in when following pheromone trails. view more (2004-12-15)
Entomologists play matchmakers for cerambycid beetles
Cerambycid beetles, also known as long-horned beetles, can cause severe damage to standing trees, logs and lumber. How then might they be promptly detected and their numbers swiftly controlled? view more (2008-08-06)
Psychologist Says Neurochemical Processes Explain Romantic Attraction
The Beatles' George Harrison wondered in his famous love song about the 'something' that 'attracts me like no other lover.' view more (2007-02-13)
Past experience of pheromones induces dominant courtship behavior in fruit flies
By investigating the interplay between pheromone signaling and behavior in fruit flies, researchers have begun to understand how an adult fly's earlier experience as a young individual can influence its behavior towards other flies as an adult. view more (2005-10-11)
1 missing gene leads to fruitless mating rituals
Male fruit flies missing a gene for one particular odor receptor become clueless in matters of love, scientists at Duke University Medical Center have discovered. view more (2008-07-24)
Researchers discover key gene involved in bark beetle pheromone production
University of Nevada, Reno scientists have ended a decade-long controversy over the process by which bark beetles make pheromones: they manufacture their own monoterpenes - the fragrant substances plants produce and which are often used in perfumes. view more (2005-06-28)
Prawnography shows captive bred prawns lack lust
A researcher has studied hours of prawn "sex tapes" to find out why prawns bred in captivity did not go on to breed well. view more (2009-03-04)
Accessory protein determines whether pheromones are detected
Pheromones are like the molecules you taste as you chomp on a greasy french fry: big and fatty. view more (2007-10-18)
Pheromones Identified that Trigger Aggression between Male Mice
A family of proteins commonly found in mouse urine is able to trigger fighting between male mice, a study in the Dec. 6, 2007, issue of Nature has found. view more (2007-12-06)
Sex and lifespan linked in worms: a family of sugar-like molecules controls both
A group of scientists who set out to study sex pheromones in a tiny worm found that the same family of pheromones also controls a stage in the worms' life cycle, the long-lived dauer larva. view more (2008-07-24)
Genetic variant linked to odor perception
Why the same sweaty man smells pleasant to one person and repellant to another comes down to the smeller's genes. view more (2007-09-17)
Mate or hibernate? That's the question worm pheromones answer
If worms could talk, they might tell potential suitors, "I like the way you wriggle," complete with that telltale come slither look. view more (2008-07-25)
Scripps research scientists discover chemical triggers for aggression in mice
The work, reported in an advance, online issue of the journal Nature on December 6, 2007, furthers the broad and important goal of elucidating how the neurological system can detect and respond to specific cues in of a sea of potential triggers. view more (2007-12-07)
New study examines how sense of smell affects mating and aggression in mice
New research by scientists at UCSF sheds light on how the odor detecting system in mice sends signals that affect their social behavior. view more (2005-12-22)
Honey bee chemoreceptors found for smell and taste
Honey bees have a much better sense of smell than fruit flies or mosquitoes, but a much worse sense of taste, according to researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. view more (2006-10-26)
Scientists uncover how hormones achieve their effects
New insights into the cellular signal chain through which pheromones stimulate mating in yeast have been gained by scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL]. view more (2007-10-23)
UC Davis research could lead to no scent, no sex for the Japanese beetle
If a male Japanese beetle is unable to detect the sex pheromone released by a female, he won't be able to locate her and reproduce. view more (2008-06-30)
The British Psychological Society London Conference 1998
The British Psychological Society's London Conference 1998 will take place on Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 December at the Institute of Education, University of London, 20 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0AL. view more (1998-12-03)
Plague of locusts invade central London
Locusts are incredibly fussy eaters, use beer-smelling perfume to attract their friends and do exactly what their mothers tell them, according to scientists exhibiting at the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition from 3-5th July in London next week. Researchers from Bath, Oxford and Southampton Universities will showcase their latest findings... view more... (2001-06-28)
