哺乳动物化学通讯研究概况

A Survey of Chemical Communication in Mammals

动物间的信息交流对于动物生存和繁殖具有重要意义。通常,动物获取信息的方式主要有视觉、听觉、嗅觉、味觉等,而化学通讯在大多数哺乳动物的通讯行为中占有主导地位。很多学者对化学通讯的功能、神经通路以及信息素化学成分进行了大量探索,促进了哺乳动物化学通讯研究领域快速发展。本文就哺乳动物化学通讯的功能、气味源的种类与功能、信息素的化学成分及研究方法、神经感知通路等研究热点就行了相关评述。

The communication dition, olfaction and gustation plays an important role in animal survival and reproduction in mammals. Vision, au- are the main ways of animal information exchanges, Chemical communication acts- leading role among these ways of obtaining information. A large number of investigations concern the function of chemical communication, nerve pathway and chemical constitution of pheromone, and accelerat the development of chemical communication field in mammals. Thus, some hot topics about the role of chemical communication, types and role of odorant sources, chemical constitutes and research method of pheromone were summarized in present writing.
