Odour dialects among wild mammals.

Scientific reports - 19 Oct 2017

Kean Eleanor Freya, Bruford Michael William, Russo Isa-Rita M, Müller Carsten Theodor, Chadwick Elizabeth Anna

Abstract excerpt

Across multiple taxa, population structure and dynamics depend on effective signalling between individuals. Among mammals, chemical communication is arguably the most important sense, underpinning mate choice, parental care, territoriality and even disease transmission. There is a growing body of evidence that odours signal genetic information that may confer considerable benefits including inbreeding avoidance...
