In memory of Karl-Ernst Kaissling (1933–2026)

The Latin American Association of Chemical Ecology honors Karl-Ernst Kaissling as a pioneering scientist whose work fundamentally advanced our understanding of insect olfaction and sensory biology. His research revealed how minute amounts of chemical signals activate specific neurons and drive behavior, establishing a rigorous, quantitative framework that continues to shape studies in sensory physiology and chemical ecology. Beyond his scientific contributions, he is remembered for his intellectual clarity and lasting influence on generations of researchers, whose work still builds on the foundational questions he helped define.

International Chemical Ecology Short Course (ICE 26)

The PhD course in Insect Chemical Ecology will take place in Alnarp, Sweden, from May 25 to June 5, 2026. The course is organized in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute (Germany) and Penn State University (USA).

Get to Know ISCE

Welcome! The International Society of Chemical Ecology (ISCE) is organized exclusively for scientific purposes, and specifically to promote the understanding of interactions between organisms and their environment that are mediated by naturally occurring chemicals. Research areas include the chemistry, biochemistry and function of natural products, their importance at all levels of ecological organization, their evolutionary origin, and their practical application.
