Review

"Wyatt demonstrates an impressive grasp of the literature and has written a most enjoyable and informative textbook (one that I read non-stop)."
Nature Neuroscience

"...an accessible textbook that offers advanced undergraduate and graduate students a data-based, integrative, and broadly comparative synthesis of this field...it's readable and engaging style will launch many productive arguments along the way."
Ethology

"...as an accessible and intelligent general work on pheromones, this book is invaluable. It is also rare and welcome in its capacity for easy and readable explanation of both the proximate and the ultimate roles of pheromones in animal behavior."
International Journal of Primatology

"The text is sufficiently referenced and well indexed. It would be hard to overstate the importance of this book for its contribution to the understanding of animal behavior."
Human Nature Review

"Pheromones are by far the most important signals used by organisms of all kinds. Wyatt's book is an excellent text and review: up-to-date, comprehensive, balanced, detailed, clearly written, and nicely illustrated."
Edward O. Wilson

"This fascinating book...is an advance over previous monographs in that it is truly interdisciplinary, including as it does studies through the disciplines of chemistry, behavior, neurobiology, endocrinology, ecology and evolution...A highly recommended source of inspiration and information for all interested in behavior and ecology."
Bulletin of the British Ecological Society

"Enjoyable reading and a highly successful endeavor that can serve as a course text, and update on the field, or a reference book."
American Entomologist

"This well-illustrated, thoroughly referenced work is admirably accessible and lucid. It offers much both as a textbook and as an introduction to this remarkable field for new investigators. Tristram Wyatt has given us a gem!"
Quarterly Review of Biology, John G. Hildebrand

"Recommended."
Choice

"Overall, Pheromones and Animal Behaviour is enjoyable reading and a highly successful endeavor that can serve as a course text, an update on the field, or a reference book."
Bruce A. Schulte, Entomological Society of America

Book Description

All animals communicate using scents called pheromones, which, amongst other things, are used to find mates, to warn off or encourage others of the same or different species, and to label places as 'home'. The first book to cover the whole animal kingdom at this level for 25 years, it draws examples from humans, insects, fish, snakes and mice. This book takes the reader further into the story of pheromones than all existing texts, but will be understandable and enjoyed by students and researchers from a wide variety of disciplines.
