Research Interests

My main research interest is in pheromones (chemical communication) and animal behaviour which resulted in the book Pheromones and animal behaviour: communication by smell and taste, published by Cambridge University Press (see http://users.ox.ac.uk/~abrg/pheromones/).

The aim of the book is to provide a synthesis of the subject, bridging the divides between chemists and biologists, between those studying vertebrates and invertebrates, between ecologists, molecular biologists and neurobiologists, and most importantly, giving the whole an evolutionary context.

Tristram Wyatt was formerly Director of Online Learning in Public Programmes and University Lecturer in Biological Sciences in the University of Oxford Department for Continuing Education
