Social Cues
Formula for the perfect social signal: 1. Cheap to transmit 2. Cheap to receive 3. Discreet 4. Selective 5. Effective in the dark/barriers 6. Long-range 7. Long-lasting 8. Easy homing/identification

What is a Pheromone? ”defined chemical signal between members of the same species, eliciting a particular behavior or physiological change. . . ”
Broader Definition: Pheromones ”any chemical signal conveying information between members of the same species” Recognition of Individuals or Kin: Differences between signals essential
Pheromones Health and Fitness Mate Choice/ Sexual Selection Mate Selection to Avoid Incest/Genetic Relatedness Sexual Maturation Successful Fertilization (Aquatic Animals) Kin Recognition Caste and Reproductive Status (Social Animals) Menstrual Synchrony Maternal-Infant Bonding Infant Suckling—Nipple Recognition Dominance Hierarchy Aggression Territory and Trail Marking Deception (Plant->Animal) Deception (Animal->Animal) Aggregation Intruder Alarm
Semiochemicals: Infochemicals Pheromones: Within species Sender + Receiver + Allelochemicals: Between species Synomones: Sender + Receiver + Kairomones: Sender - Receiver + Allomones: Sender + Receiver -

Mimicry: Pheromones Subverted for Deception Australian orchid D. glyptodon traps male Z. Trilobatus wasps Bolas spiders vs. moths
Mate Quality: MHC
Models for the MHC Effect 1. The MHC molecule hypothesis (MHC fragments in urine and sweat) 2. The peptide hypothesis (MHC peptide metabolites in urine) 3. The microflora hypothesis (MHC shapes allele-specific populations of commensal microbes) 4. The carrier hypothesis (MHC carries volatile aromatics, including those produced by bacteria) 5. The peptide-microbe hypothesis (MHC alters odor by restricting peptides available to commensal bacteria)
Coolidge Effect (Remating with arrival of new potential mate) Bruce Effect (Pregnancy block when exposed to foreign male) Vandenbergh Effect (Males accelerate puberty in young females) Whitten Effect (Males induce oestrus in adult females) Lee-Boot Effect (Group-housed females show suppressed oestrus; oestrus synchronized by contact with males)
The Coolidge Effect One day President and Mrs. Coolidge were visiting a government farm. Soon after their arrival they were taken off on separate tours. When Mrs. Coolidge passed the chicken pens she paused to ask the man in charge if the rooster copulates more than once each day. "Dozens of times" was the reply. "Please tell that to the President, " Mrs. Coolidge requested. When the President passed the pens and was told about the rooster, he asked "Same hen everytime? " "Oh no, Mr. President, a different one each time. " The President nodded slowly, then said "Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge. "

PHEROMONES IN HUMANS? • Kin recognition-family member vs. partner
PHEROMONES IN HUMANS? • Kin recognition-partner vs. stranger
PHEROMONES IN HUMANS? • Kin recognition-mother/child
PHEROMONES IN HUMANS? • Menstrual synchrony
