WHAT DOES KAIROMONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Kairomone

A kairomone, is a semiochemical, emitted by an organism, which mediates interspecific interactions in a way that benefits an individual of another species which receives it, without benefiting the emitter. This "eavesdropping" is often disadvantageous to the producer. The kairomone improves the fitness of the recipient and in this respect differs from an allomone and a synomone. The term is mostly used in the field of entomology. Two main ecological cues are provided by kairomones; they generally either indicate a food source for the receiver, or the presence of a predator, the latter of which is less common or at least less studied.

Definition of kairomone in the English dictionary

The definition of kairomone in the dictionary is a substance secreted by an organism that benefits the receiver and disadvantages the emitter, the opposite of an allomone.
