I still need to do this part of the paper.this will include my purpose along with any information that led me to choose this topic. .
ANIMALS & PHEROMONES.
In 1959, researchers coined the word "pheromone" to describe certain substances .
produced by the glands of animals. (The Smell Book) Pheromones are chemical messengers that are essential to communication. The chemical pheromone, which gives each person his or her unique body smell, is a very powerful scent. Animals also produce pheromones. They affect an animal's behavior, ways they communicate and how they mark their territory. Insects also produce pheromones, which are used as a defense mechanism and a communication system for reproduction. (Britannica) Humans also produce pheromones. .
EXPERIMENT.
The purpose of my experiment was to prove whether or not parents could identify.
their child's shirt, from other shirts of children of similar age, using only their sense of .
smell. I also tested whether or not parents can tell the difference between the smells of all their children. .
The materials that I need for this experiment were five individuals of the same gender and one of their parents, five brand new t-shirts, and five plastic bags. I also need another set of parents and their children, five more t-shirts and five additional plastic bags. The procedure for this experiment follows: Each of the children wore their shirt to bed for five nights. They did not use any type of scented lotions, perfume, etc. After this five-day period, they placed their shirts into a plastic bag and one of their parents smelled each shirt and indicated which shirt they believed belonged to their child. I also conducted an experiment with my siblings and I. We all wore the same t-shirts to bed for five nights. After the fifth night we placed the shirts in a plastic bag and my parents smelled them and determined which shirt was worn by each child.

A chemical means to safely and effectively control the BMSB is still being developed. [2] An entomologist by the name of Jeffrey Aldrich, an expert on stink bugs, is in the process of cultivating a pheromone based trap using the stink bug's own chemistry. The adult males often generate an attractant pheromone. These traps, when baited with this pheromone can be used to catch the stink bugs and help protect farms, orchards and homes. [1] Researchers with the U. ... This "aggregation pheromone" produced by the stink bugs is being studied and research is in progress on how the att...
Love in the animal kingdom can be displayed through physical and verbal communication. Animals pass information between each other with signals, which are cues that can be picked up by the sensory system and are transmitted from one animal to another.

Another theory on the physiological mechanisms involved in homeopathy is pheromones. Pheromones are powerful aromatic hormone-like substances that creatures secrete to attract one another. One molecule of moth pheromone is so potent it will attract another moth from miles away and trigger a cascade of physical reactions. Though well documented, the exact mechanism for pheromones remains unknown. ...
