Pheromones - Preferred
Concept UI M0016588
Scope note Chemical substances, excreted by an organism into the environment, that elicit behavioral or physiological responses from other organisms of the same species. Perception of these chemical signals may be olfactory or by contact.
Preferred term Pheromones
Entry term(s) Pheromone
Kairomones - Related but not broader or narrower
Concept UI M0401205
Scope note Allelochemicals in that the elicited response of the receiver is adaptively favorable to the receiver but not to the emitter. They are sometimes called attractants.
Preferred term Kairomones
Entry term(s) Kairomone
Allomones - Related but not broader or narrower
Concept UI M0401204
Scope note Allelochemicals in that the elicited response of the receiver is adaptively favorable to the emitter but not to the receiver. They are sometimes called repellents (INSECT REPELLENTS) or deterrents.
Preferred term Allomones
Entry term(s) Allomone
Ectohormones - Broader
Concept UI M0016589
Preferred term Ectohormones
Entry term(s) Semiochemical
Semiochemicals
Synomones - Related but not broader or narrower
Concept UI M0401206
Scope note Allelochemicals in that the elicited response of the receiver is adaptively favorable to both emitter and receiver.
Preferred term Synomones
Allelochemicals - Related but not broader or narrower
Concept UI M0397514
Scope note Chemical substances, excreted by an organism into the environment, that elicit behavioral or physiological responses from organisms of a different species . Perception of these chemical signals may be olfactory or by contact. Allelochemicals are subdivided into several groups depending on the response of the receiver and its adaptive effect to the emitter. They can be allomones, kairomones, or synomones.
Preferred term Allelochemicals
Entry term(s) Allelochemical
