## Abstract

The study deals with the chemical mechanisms whereby insects interact with
organisms in their environment.  Particular attention is being given to
glandular substances that insects produce for protection against predators
or for communication with conspecifics.  The substances are being studied
from the chemical, biochemical, and ecological points of view, in hopes of
clarifying both their basic and applied significance.
