Chemical kin label in seabirds.

Biology letters - 23 Dec 2011

Célérier Aurélie, Bon Cécile, Malapert Aurore, Palmas Pauline, Bonadonna Francesco

Abstract excerpt

Chemical signals yield critical socio-ecological information in many animals, such as species, identity, social status or sex, but have been poorly investigated in birds. Recent results showed that chemical signals are used to recognize their nest and partner by some petrel seabirds whose olfactory anatomy is well developed and which possess a life-history propitious to olfactory-mediated behaviours. Here, we...
