The present review encompasses the multifaceted role of Pheromones (=odour hormones) among the wild animals. Various aspects of Aggressive behaviour, Territory marking, Alarm and Fear responses, as-well-as, Courtship and Mating behaviour in different vertebrates are discussed here in details.- Seasonal variation of freshwater Zooplanktons in Bankura, West Bengal, India

Zooplankton are the major mode of energy transfer between Phytoplankton and fish and important for fish population. Zooplanktons also play an important role to serve as bio indicators as well as to assess the pollution status of water. In this present study, we tried to investigate the plankton species richness, diversity and evenness and to state the condition of a freshwater tropical perennial pond, Padmapukur of PratapBagan, Bankura. Diversity of different group of zooplankton is more in summer season than the winter and rainy season. The population density of zooplanktons varies from month to month and recorded maximum density (91) in the month of November, 2012 and minimum density (40) in the month of August, 2013.

The traditional image of Oxytocin as a purely Neurohypophyseal hormone with endocrine actions in parturition and lactation has certainly been challenged in recent years. In the present review, we have discussed it’s other functional roles viz. in sexual response, in different emotional states, in excretory physiology, cardiac function, in autism, in the development of maternal behaviour, and interestingly, it’s involvement in the male reproductive physiology.References
