This database is the curated information obtained from Pherobase dataset: https://www.pherobase.com/
Columns are separated by a comma and the following information is provided:
- formula: Indicates the infochemical formula
- Cs: Indicates the number of Carbons present in the infochemicals
- CAS: Indicates a unique numerical identifier assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)
- MW: Mollecular Weight
- feromonas: This is a list that indicates how the infochemical is used. Each item in a list is how a specie uses this chemical
- especies: This is a list that indicates the specie that uses the infochemical. Length is same as the feremones
- totaluses: Total different uses of the infochemical (by number of species and the ways that a specie uses it)
- P: Total uses of infochemical as Pheromones.
- A: Total uses of infochemical as Atractant.
- Al: Total uses of infochemical as Allomone.
- K: Total uses of infochemical as Keiromone
- Sy: Total uses of infochemical as Synomone.
- Alelo: Total uses of infochemical as Alelochemical.
