Definition

  • Humans use their chemical senses in many facets of their lives, yet their abilities pale in comparison with those of most animals. Everyday demonstrations of the chemosensory prowess of animals include dogs tracking invisible chemical trails, mosquitoes homing in on human meals, and game fish lured to baited hooks.
