The role of chemical communication in mate choice.
Björn Johansson,Therésa M. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: The evidence for pheromones as indicators of mate quality is reviewed and the extent of their use in individual mate assessment is examined, highlighting potential areas for future research and the need for interdisciplinary research that combines exploration of chemical, physiological and behavioural processes to further understand the role of chemical cues in mate assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Behavioral Ecology of Insect Vibrational Communication
TL;DR: It is anticipated that many new examples and functions of vibrational communication will be discovered, and that study of this modality will continue to provide important insights into insect social behavior, ecology, and evolution.

On the scent of speciation: the chemosensory system and its role in premating isolation.
Carole M. Smadja,Roger K. Butlin +1 more
TL;DR: Genetic approaches to chemosensory gene families and to enzymes involved in biosynthetic pathways of signal compounds now provide new opportunities to dissect the genetic basis of these complex traits and of their divergence among taxa.
Book
Pheromones and Animal Behavior: Chemical Signals and Signatures
TL;DR: This extensively revised and expanded book offers a thorough exploration of the evolutionary and behavioral contexts of chemical communication along with a detailed introduction to the molecular and neural basis of signal perception through olfaction.

Vibrational communication in insects
Meta Virant-Doberlet,Andrej Čokl +1 more
TL;DR: The courtship behavior of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is taken as a representative model in illustrating some principal mechanisms of vibrational communication in insects.
