Insect Olfaction

  • Chapter
Olfaction

Part of the book series: Handbook of Sensory Physiology ((1730,volume 4 / 1))

Abstract

The behavior of insects is controlled to a great extent by olfactory stimuli. Whereas a given insect species appears to be selectively specialized to a number of odors, the list of substances odoriferous to insects in general is extensive although not completely known. Many gaseous substances perceived by insects are odorless to man. Into this category fall not only simple compounds like water vapor or carbon dioxide but also complicated compounds such as bombykol or queen substance and many others, some of which can be detected at very low concentrations. The olfactory sense of many insects is highly developed. Moths, for instance, have a more sensitive sense of smell than dogs, and the honey bee can distinguish many flower odors at least as well as man.
