Most organisms communicate using chemical signals. Insects use chemical signals for a variety of functions including: mate finding, habitat and host selection, foraging and egg-laying decisions. The reliability and repeatibility of these signals will depend on ecological facors and physiological state of the signaller and responder. We will take an eco-physiological approach to understand insect chemical signalling using moths (Lepidoptera) as our study system.

大多数生物通过化学信号进行交流。 昆虫利用化学信号进行各种功能，包括：寻找配偶，栖息地和宿主选择，觅食和产卵决定。 这些信号的可靠性和可重复性将取决于生态因素和生理状态的信号和响应。 我们将采取生态生理学的方法来理解昆虫化学信号使用蛾（鳞翅目）作为我们的研究系统。
