A chemical substance released by organisms to attract and stimulate mating in sexual reproduction; a pheromone-like attractant.
From Greek 'gamos' (sexual union) + English '-one' (chemical suffix). Biological term coined in early 20th-century reproductive physiology.
Gamones are nature's love letters—they're invisible chemical signals that tell organisms 'I'm ready to mate,' and they work so powerfully that they can drive organisms toward each other across distances.
