FUNCTIONAL MODIFICATIONS. “The molecules used by a given kind of animal can often be understood in terms of function, habitat, likely evolution, and phylogenetic history. For example, ant alarm pheromones are often related to that species’ venoms, and are small volatile molecules such as formic acid (MW 46), quick to reach fellow nestmates and to rapidly disperse when the alert is over.”
