中文摘要：

作为农林生态系统中首要的捕食性节肢动物的蜘蛛,只有单眼和听毛,并没有复眼和听器。因而在一定的距离之外,蜘蛛要高效、成功寻觅其理想的猎物,仅仅凭视觉、触觉、听觉均无法实现和完成这一功能。因此,蜘蛛的嗅觉即化学通信于蜘蛛种间和种内的信息联系中扮演着举足轻重的角色,现已有大量的研究用行为学的方法证明蜘蛛与猎物之间,蜘蛛与蜘蛛之间能够通过信息化学物质进行信息联系,但蜘蛛的嗅觉即化学信息素的释放与接收机制以及信息素的结构成份等方面的研究甚少,有待进一步深人。对蜘蛛与猎物之间,蜘蛛与蜘蛛之间的信息化学联系机制的研究进展做一综述。

英文摘要：

Spiders, as the primary predatory arthropod of the agro-ecosystems, only have ocellus and audito-ry hairs instead of compound eyes and acoustic apparatus. As a result, only with visual sense, tactile sense,auditory sense, spiders are unable to find their ideal prey that beyond a relative distance efficiently and successfully. Accordingly, olfactory sense, that is, chemical communication plays an important role in infor-mation linkage between species and within species of spiders. A large number of researches, using ethologi-cal analysis, proves that spiders are able to use information-laden chemicals for communication between species and within species. However, the studies on spiders＇ sense of smell, which include mechanism of chemical pheromones＇ release and receive, structure, compound as well as other aspects of chemical pheromones are very limited so far. An overview about spiders＇ contact mechanism of chemical information between species and within species is made.
