无论生命形式出现在哪里，它们都必须保护自己，即使是最低层次的，反对自己的同类。达尔文称之为生命之争。下面的讨论表明，这种斗争可以在化学上与各种不同类别的化合物进行。防御性物质的例子是在投弹甲虫中发现的热醌，以及在其他Adephaga中发现的弱和强羧酸，酚，萜烯，类固醇和生物碱。
Wherever life forms have arisen, they have had to defend themselves, even on the lowest levels, against their own kind. Darwin called this the struggle for life. The following discussion shows that this struggle can be carried on chemically with compounds of widely differing classes. Examples of defensive substances found are hot quinones in bombardier beetles, and weak and strong carboxylic acids, phenols, terpenes, steroids, and alkaloids in other Adephaga.
