From Swab to Spectrum: A Comprehensive Guide to Optimizing Simple Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectromet gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of vertebrate odorants to generate a sensitive, broadly applicable method for detecting diverse compounds. We develop a standard mixture of 24 compounds in vertebrate odorants and use this mixture for tests of swab material, column, and solventless extr

A Gull Species Recognizes MHC-II Diversity and Dissimilarity Using Odor Cuesortant force driving social interactions, including mating preference. However, the phenotypic cues used by individuals to assess the MHC characteristics of conspecifics are generally unknown. Here, we used behavioral tests to investigate whether, in black-legged kittiwakes, females use odor cues to

Exploration of Olfactory Communication in the Water Vole, se significant damage in mid-mountain grassland ecosystems. Water vole populations are currently managed with rodenticides. But their toxicity to the ecosystem imposes to find means of population control that are more environment-friendly. In this context, we began to explore here aspects of water v

The Use of Excretion- and Secretion-Based Scent Communication in European Badgers (,)ation, redundancy can occur, for example, when the same message is encoded in both specialised glandular secretions and in metabolic by-products. Although these two modalities often encode similar messages, few studies have compared their deployment and associated behavioural responses within the sa

Scent Communication Between Males and Estrous Females in Domestic Dogs (,)rom the urine and vaginal secretions of female dogs and possibly to distinguish between estrous and anestrous female dogs. Previous studies have suggested that some compounds secreted by female dogs act as sex pheromones. However, the existence of these compounds in female urine, and their bioactivi
