: F.K. and K.C.S. are founders of Pheronym, Inc. The other authors (A.P.-G., J.G., G.S., H.E., A.M., E.S., C.T., J.S., E.E.L., D.S.-I.) do not have any financial or nonfinancial interest in Pheronym and declare no potential conflict of interest. USDA-AFRI, USDA-SBIR, and the Space Florida Israel Innovation Partnership provided funding for the project but do not have a specific role in the conceptualization, design, data collection, analysis, the decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. Since F.K. has domain expertise in pheromone regulated behavior, her expertise is required to design and analyze the experiments to prepare the manuscript. To ensure that personal biases do not affect her decision-making skills, F.K. took “Conflict of Interest” and “Life Sciences Responsible Conduct of Research” courses offered by the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program at the University of Miami. The course included topics such as “Research misconduct, data management, authorship, peer review, mentoring, using animal subjects in research, conflicts of interest, collaborative research and research involving human subjects”.
