Behavioural neurobiology: Chemical love
Nicolas Gompel1 & Benjamin Prud'homme1
Abstract
Male and female fruitflies use pheromones to flaunt their species identity and gender as they court amid other fruitfly species. The grammar of this chemical language is surprisingly sophisticated.
Successful mating is all about making the right choices. But, as we all know, this is not an easy undertaking.
- Nicolas Gompel and Benjamin Prud'homme are at the Institut de Biologie du Développement de Marseille-Luminy, Parc scientifique de Luminy, case 907, 13288 Marseille cedex 9, France.
