Providing
experimental methods and protocols for performing pheromone research in a
variety of organisms ranging from invertebrates to vertebrates, Pheromone Signaling: Methods and Protocols covers
a wide spectrum of experimental approaches necessary for handling pheromone
molecules, measuring receptor response and neural activation, and analyzing
behavioral output. A great deal of progress has been made in understanding the
molecular mechanisms underlying pheromone action, largely due to the discovery
of receptor genes, the advancement of imaging techniques, and key
multi-disciplinary approaches including aspects of organic chemistry,
biochemistry, molecular biology, electrophysiology, and behavioral science.
Written in the highly successful Methods
in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions
to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,
step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips for
troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative
and practical, Pheromone Signaling:
Methods and Protocols details the
key methodologies utilized in laboratories all over the world, making them
accessible to those who want to begin investigation in the area of pheromone
research.
