Pheromone Group's profile in Lund University Research portal

Description

The research in the Pheromone Group is centred on the chemical senses – olfaction and taste – and how chemical signals influence the ecology of animals, primarily arthropods. The main study organisms includes flies, mosquitos, moths, beetles, ticks, and spiders. Our techniques range from biochemistry, chemical analysis and molecular biology to electrophysiology and behavioural experiments. We tackle fundamental questions about the evolution of pheromone communication, and how chemicals are utilized in insect–plant interactions and symbioses between insects and microbes. We also run applied projects, aiming to improve management of harmful pests of agriculture and forestry as well as disease vectors.
