Abstract:

Museums internationally are using scents as a means of storytelling in their galleries, but a methodological process for developing olfactory reproductions - or historically informed scents - is still lesser known and valued. For the first time, this paper raises the importance of crafting intentional olfactory reproductions for the use in cultural heritage. It discusses how to streamline the process of commissioning olfactory reproductions with a scent designer and how to foster transparency of these productions to benefit visitor education. Insights for understanding aspects of transparency

Abstract:

Understanding the complexity of flower scent—a crucial attractant for pollinators and a key factor in ensuring plant reproduction—is an essential ecological task for highly endangered orchids. To address this issue, we studied the flower volatiles profile of Neottia ovata, a nectar-rewarding orchid known for its generalist pollination strategy. We then compared the chemical composition of N. ovata floral scent with scent data of other orchid species to place our findings in the context of general volatile attractants emitted by nectar-rewarding or food-deceptive species. Our results contribute

Indirect predator cues near nests have been shown to enhance perceived predation risk and associated antipredator behaviours in breeding animals across taxa and particularly with birds. We hypothesized that scent from the raccoon (Procyon lotor (Linnaeus, 1758)) inside nest boxes would, despite being an evolutionarily unique predator, enhance perceived risk to the European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris (Linnaeus, 1758)), thus reducing use of treated sites and reproduction. During early spring, starlings selected from nest boxes treated with equal volumes of predator scent, a novel odour, or water

The tremendous diversity of floral and fruit traits is, to a large extent, a set of adaptations that promote plant reproduction through animal pollinators and seed dispersers. Yet, it is still unknown whether fruit scent is a by-product of fruit maturation or an evolved communication channel with animal mutualists. We show that in species that specialize on seed dispersal by lemurs—an olfactorily oriented primate—fruits increase scent production and change their chemical composition significantly more than sympatric species whose seeds are largely dispersed by birds.

Social insects are well known for their high level of cooperation. Workers of the primitively eusocial bumblebee Bombus terrestris are able to produce male offspring in the presence of a queen.

So far, little is known about the proximate mechanisms underlying the shift between altruism and selfish behaviour in bumblebee workers.

Abstract:

Despite the economic importance of floral scent for plant reproduction, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of floral scent production. Floral scent is often a complex mixture of low-molecular-weight compounds that are mainly distributed within three groups: fatty acid derivatives, benzenoids, and isoprenoids. Esters of such compounds are the most widespread type. Headspace analysis in combination with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry of volatiles emitted from snapdragon flowers revealed that methyl benzoate is one of the major components of the `Maryland True Pink' genotype

Abstract:

More than 85% of plants rely on biotic pollen vectors attracted by olfactory or visual signals. While these signals are beneficial for plant reproduction, they are also costly in terms of resource investment, and may involve additional costs related to herbivore attraction, transmission of diseases, and increased transfer of self-pollen among flowers of an individual plant. Given the potential costs of signalling to pollinators, we hypothesized that plants should cease signalling to pollinators as soon as the costs of being attractive exceed the benefits.

Abstract:

Context Life-history strategies are the means that organisms use to achieve successful reproduction in environments that vary in time and space. Individual animals maximise life-time reproductive success (LRS) through optimal timing of reproduction and investment in offspring. A crucial factor affecting LRS is predation risk in a highly seasonal environment. According to the breeding-suppression hypothesis (BSH), females should delay breeding under short periods of high predation risk. Delayed breeding under risk is suggested to have substantial consequences for females’ fitness. Aims We teste

Pollination is an essential biological process in higher plant reproduction that involves the transfer of pollen to the female sexual organs of flowers or cones. It plays a critical role in the reproductive success and evolution of most plant species by allowing plants to share genetic material from other members of the same or closely-related species, thus increasing genetic diversity. In many cases, non-plant organisms are involved in carrying out this cross-pollination, including insects, bats, mammals, and birds.

Abstract:

From 1998 to 2002 the biology and social behaviour of a colony of free-tailed bats (Tadarida teniotis) was studied in Valladolid (Castilla y León, Spain) using ringing and nocturnal direct observations. The bats were organized in ‘harems’ made up by a dominant male together with a variable number of females. Males compete in attracting passing-by females with characteristic mating calls emitted from their shelters. The presence of possible competitors triggers aggressive behaviors characterized by noisy and fast chasing-flights and the releasing of a strong scent, probably used to mark their t

Abstract:

Scent is known to play an important role in the reproduction of cheetahs and other felids. In fact, the presence/odor of a male cheetah has been noted to trigger the estrous cycle in females. The objective of this study was to analyze the marking fluid (MF) of male cheetahs from different breeding groups to determine the composition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present, with the aim of identifying potential pheromones relating to sexual behavior/attraction in this species. Four breeding (B; age: 8.9 ± 1.3 years old) and four non-breeding (NB; age: 5.5 ± 0.8 years old) males were select

Abstract:

Exposure of recently mated female rodents to unfamiliar male scents during daily prolactin surges results in pregnancy failure (the ‘Bruce effect’). Control of nasal contact with male scents during these narrow windows of sensitivity could allow females to maintain or terminate pregnancy, but female behavioural changes specifically during this critical period have not been investigated. We examined the approach or avoidance of familiar stud strain and unfamiliar male scents by recently mated female mice. Females that maintained pregnancy avoided both unfamiliar and familiar male scent during c

Abstract:

Abstract Males typically adjust their reproductive strategies based on the perceived density and relative abilities of nearby competitors. In high-density populations, repeated encounters facilitate reliable, learned associations between individuals and their relative competitive abilities. In contrast, opportunities to form such associations are limited when densities are low or in flux, increasing the risk that individuals will unintentionally engage in potentially costly interactions with higher-quality or aggressive opponents. To maximize their fitness, individuals in low-density and fluct

Abstract:

Reproductive isolating barriers are a crucial element in the speciation process. From these barriers, and among those acting early in the speciation process (premating), the ethological ones can play a pivotal role in isolating populations or closely related species. In fact, the high diversity of some taxa has been correlated with an elevated divergence in sexual signals, which facilitates isolation. The present study explored whether variation in chemical signals may contribute to the high diversity of Liolaemus lizards, a genus with more than 290 species. Specifically, population scent disc

The study of human chemical communication benefits from comparative perspectives that relate humans, conceptually and empirically, to other primates. All major primate groups rely on intraspecific chemosignals, but strepsirrhines present the greatest diversity and specialization, providing a rich framework for examining design, delivery and perception. Strepsirrhines actively scent mark, possess a functional vomeronasal organ, investigate scents via olfactory and gustatory means, and are exquisitely sensitive to chemically encoded messages.

Abstract:

Flowers of Annonaceae are characterized by fleshy petals, many stamens with hard connective shields and numerous carpels with sessile stigmas often covered by sticky secretions. The petals of many representatives during anthesis form a closed pollination chamber. Protogynous dichogamy with strong scent emissions especially during the pistillate stage is a character of nearly all species. Scent emissions can be enhanced by thermogenesis. The prevailing reproductive system in the family seems to be self-compatibility. The basal genus Anaxagorea besides exhibiting several ancestral morphological

Abstract Female Carpetan rock lizards (Iberolacerta cyreni) might assess the quality of males from their chemical signals. Females select areas scent marked by males with secretions containing high proportions of provitamin D to ensure mating with high-quality males. However, an alternative explanation might be that females are not choosing a mate, but that females have a pre-sensory bias for chemical cues of vitamin D in the food and are, in fact, assessing habitat quality to obtain direct benefits of increasing the intake of vitamin D.
