Olfactory effects of a hypervariable multicomponent pheromone in the red-legged salamander, Plethodon shermani.
Chemical communication via chemosensory signaling is an essential process for promoting and modifying reproductive behavior in many species. During courtship in plethodontid salamanders, males deliver a mixture of non-volatile proteinaceous pheromones that activate chemosensory neurons in the vomero...
