The 28 pages that link to Pheromone, each with the reason it gives.
OlfactionRelated: Some animal chemical communication depends on olfactory detection.
Animal communicationBroader topic: Pheromones carry information through chemical signals, often over distances or through time.
Honey beeNarrower topic: Queen and worker signals help coordinate colony behavior through chemical communication.
HormoneCompared with: Pheromones signal between organisms, whereas hormones regulate activity within a body.
Scent markingRelated: Some scent marks contain pheromones that elicit specific responses from animals detecting them.
ChemoreceptionRelated: Chemoreception allows animals to detect these social and reproductive signals.
Bark beetleNarrower topic: Aggregation pheromones recruit enough beetles to overcome a tree’s defenses.
Chemical ecologyBroader topic: Pheromones mediate communication among members of one species.
Sexual attractionRelated: Claims that human pheromones drive attraction remain scientifically disputed.
Jacobson's organRelated: Some vomeronasal responses concern pheromones, though the organ detects other cues too.
ChemoreceptorRelated: Chemoreceptors detect pheromones that mediate social and reproductive signaling.
EntomologyRelated: Many insects use pheromones to find mates, mark trails, or signal danger.
OdorantCompared with: Some pheromones are odorants, but the term specifies a communicative biological role.
BeetleRelated: Many beetles use pheromones to find mates or aggregate at resources.
Insect antennaRelated: Antennae detect pheromones used to find mates and coordinate other behaviors.
E. O. WilsonNarrower topic: Ants use pheromones to recruit nestmates and coordinate collective activity.
Olfactory systemCompared with: Pheromones are often assumed to work through human smell, though that role remains disputed.
Luna mothRelated: Female luna moths release pheromones that males detect with their antennae.
OdorCompared with: Pheromones are defined by their signaling function, not simply by having an odor.
Body odorCompared with: Body odor is often mistaken for pheromonal signaling, though human pheromones remain unestablished.
NoctuidaeRelated: Female sex pheromones help many noctuid moths attract mates.
Communication (biology)Broader topic: Pheromones are a clear example of communication between organisms.
Musk deerRelated: Musk and other scent signals help communicate reproductive and territorial information.
Arthropod antennaeRelated: Many insects detect mate and social pheromones with antennal receptors.
CockchaferRelated: Sexual chemical signaling helps adult cockchafers locate mates during their brief surface phase.
Harderian glandRelated: In certain species, Harderian secretions may contribute to chemical communication.
Longhorn beetleRelated: Some longhorn species use pheromones to locate mates or aggregate on host plants.
Sense of smellRelated: Pheromones are chemical cues, though their detection and effects differ across species.
