Tema(s): Recursos en línea: Resumen: Chemical ecology has been defined as 'the promotion of an ecological understanding of the origin, function and significance of natural chemicals that mediate interactions within and between organisms'.1 One major strand in the development of chemical ecology was the discovery of insect pheromones, and the recognition that trace amounts (e.g. 1 ìg or less)of simple organic molecules could exert profound effects on the mating behaviour of Lepidoptera and other insects.2 Equally important was the discovery of kairomones, volatile signals released by plants to attract or repel insects to feed or oviposit on those plants.
