Abstract
Besides optical, acoustical and tactile stimuli, living organisms use chemical cues for the transmission of information. Chemotaxis is a general archaic principle, and a wide range of living beings, microorganisms as well as primates, are capable of releasing compounds (‘semiochemicals’) which are used in intraspecific and interspecific chemical communication.
