A sexually arousing chemical substance that is secreted into the air by many kinds of animals, including, possibly, humans.
A chemical substance released by animals, including insects, which influences the behaviour or development of other individuals of the same species eg. Sexual attractants.
A chemical released by some species as a form of communication. Those referred to in my notebook are used to attract a mate.
One of a group of gender-specific hormones emitted by certain animal species which alerts potential sex partners of the same species to an opportunity for sexual intercourse. I believe that human beings are generally susceptible to pheromone stimuli from either men or women, and that gay people may be insensitive to the pheromones emitted by the opposite sex.
A chemical substance secreted externally by an individual, the odour of which causes a response in other members of the same species, eg. pheromones shed by bitches in season will stimulate others in close contact to also come on heat.
chemical substance secreted by butterflies and moths that produces a scent.
Pheromones are chemical messages relayed between members of the same animal and insect species. They are used to attract members of the opposite sex, to mark trails and territory, and as warnings. Each insect (or animal) has its own complex chemical pheromone, some of which have been identified and used in traps to monitor and sometimes control pest populations. In other cases, pheromones are used to confuse or lure insect pests away from target crops.
A sexually arousing chemical substance that is secreted by the body to trigger a sexual response and attraction in potential mates. Also given off by animals.
A chemical signal, analogous to a hormone, that passes information between individuals.
A chemical emitted by one organism into the environment as a signal to other organisms, usually of the same species. Plants may use pheromones to communicate the fact that they are under insect attack; other plants in the area of the same species will then build up their insect defences in case the attack spreads. Animals use pheromones for all sorts of things including marking territory, laying trails, finding a suitable mate and for keeping a group together.
A substance secreted by an individual that influences a physiological or behavioral response from another individual of the same species.
a chemical (sex attractant) released by an insect to attract the opposite sex of the same species for mating. Usually the female releases the pheromone.

A signaling molecule released by an individual that can alter the behavior or gene expression of other individuals of the same species. The yeast and mating-type factors are well-studied examples.
these subtle scents are unconsciously released by all species to attract members of the opposite sex; pheromones have been linked to heightened levels of sexual arousal and attraction. Pregnenolone: a bioactive agent that is a precursor to DHEA and acts as a moisturizer, diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles and aiding in the production of hormones.
hormone released into the environment for chemical communication between insects.
A scent chemical used for communication. For example, male butterflies emit pheromones to attract female butterflies of the same species. Some caterpillars can emit a chemical which mimics an ant alarm pheromone.

a small molecule secreted by one mating type of an organism in order to interact with a member of the opposite mating type
a small volatile chemical signal that functions in the communication between animals and acts much like a hormone in influencing physiology and behavior
a substance secreted by an animal that causes a specific reaction by another individual of the same species
a substance secreted by an individual into the environment that influences the behavior of another of the same species
Odor produced by an animal that affects the behavior of other animals. The way pheromones work is analogous to the way hormones in the body send specific chemical signals from one set of cells to another, causing them to perform a certain action.
A chemical secreted by an animal, especially an insect, that influences the behavior or development of others of the same species.
An external chemical that passes between individuals of the same species and controls within-species interactions including aggregation of both sexes, sexual stimulation and trail following.
a chemical substance that is released by an organism for the purpose of communication between members of the same species.
a chemical secreted by an animal, especially insects that influences the behaviour of other animals of the same species. Often used as an attractant for the opposite sex.
semiochemical released by one individual that modifies the behavior of another individual of the same species.
A chemical produced by an organism that signals its presence to other members of the same species. Of particular importance in sexual behavior.
A substance given off by an insect used to communicate with other insects of the same species.
Pheromone: The production of an airborne sex attractant by a female for attracting a male of the same species.
Specific aromatic substances that attract the males and females of a particular species together.
A chemical stimulant/attractant released into the surrounding environment, either air or water.
A scent that the flightless female gypsy moth emits to attract the male gypsy moth so they can mate.
Scent used by cats to determine territory. When cats rub their chin on objects, they are depositing facial pheromones for other cats to smell.
volatile hormone-like secretion that transmits a subtle odor evoking response in another member of the same species; usually sexual
A substance produced by members of a species that affects the behaviour of other individuals of the same species.
A hormone-like substance secreted into the environment by certain animals, especially insects. - A volatile hormone or behaviour-modifying agent. Normally used to describe sex attractants - for example bombesin for the moth Bombyx - but includes volatile aggression-stimulating agents (e.g. isoamyl acetate in honey bees).
A substance secreted by an organism that affects the behavior or development of other organisms of the same species. Sex pheromones that attract the opposite sex for mating are used in monitoring certain insects.
(noun) - a chemical given off by an animal and meant to cause a specific reaction in another of the same species. Butterflies give off pheromones in order to attract a mate.
This is a chemical attractant that the female adult will send out to attract the male for mating. Each species has its own unique pheromone, thus ensuring that there will be no cross-breeding in populations.
( Fair-oh-moan): a chemical substance or blend of substances secreted by an organism and elicits a response by a member of the same species.
The odor produced by a female cockroach that attracts males for mating.
substance released by one individual that modifies the behavior of another of the same species, e.g., the SPB pheromone is an odor released by females that attracts males.
biochemical emitted by an organism to influence the behaviour of other organisms of the same species. Some pesticides work by interfering with the normal response of a pest to its pheromones.
chemical substance produced by an organism which affects the behaviour, reproduction or development of a nearby organism of the same species

Is a substance produced by an organism that stimulates one or more behaviours of other organisms of the same species. Pheromone sex attractant are used by many insects to ensure male and female can find a mate.
Substance used in olfactory communication between organisms of the same species eliciting a change in sexual or social behaviour. SN ectohormone, feromone
A chemical message that works among members of the same species.
A chemical substance (i.e., sex attractant) produced by an animal that serves as a stimulus to other individuals of the same species for a behavioral response.
a chemical substance that convey information to and produce specific responses in certain animals.
Chemical substance secreted by an animals to produce a response by other members of the same species. Sexual attractants are the most widely studied and described. There is some discussion as to whether the term should be used for humans. In recent years research has indicated that we may have a sixth sense (a chemical sense) from the Human Vero Nomasal Organs (VNO), located in the nasal cavity that produce a signal to very specific steroid type chemicals. The response is gender specific meaning that males and females respond to different chemicals. Claims of using pheromones in perfumes up till now have no basis in fact and most are based on the pig attractant (Boarmate) which produces no signal from the VNO.
A chemical substance produced by one organism for purposes of communication with another member of its species.
Pheromones are chemicals secreted by some animals that cause specific reactions in other animals. Some animals. like moths, use pheronomes to attract mates.
a chemical substance secreted externally by certain animals which affects the behaviour or physiology of other animals of the same species.
Ferr-Ro-Mohne) A substance produced by an organism which elicits a response from another of the same species. Typically one thinks of a pheromone as a sexual signal, but it may be used to register food, raise an alarm, etc.
Chemicals given off from animals that serve as communication methods.
A pheromone is any chemical or set of chemicals produced by a living organism that transmits a message to other members of the same species. There are alarm pheromones, food trail pheromones, sex pheromones, and many others that affect behavior or physiology. Their use among insects has been particularly well documented, although many vertebrates and plants also communicate using pheromones.
