Product Information
From mating to parenting, foraging to self-defense, plant and animal activities are accomplished by the secretion or exchange of organic chemicals. This book introduces the science that encompasses these diverse phenomena. It talks about the organisms that steal, counterfeit, or interpret the chemical signals of other species for their own ends.
