Kin recognition via cuticular hydrocarbons shapes cockroach social life (2009, background): “…framework, elaborated mainly from interpretations of recent empirical evidence in verte- brates, considers only the mechanisms allowing relatedness assessment sensu stricto, irrespective of spatial location and familiarity (Barnard 1990; Grafen 1990; Tang-Martinez 2001; Todrank and Heth 2003).”
Kin recognition: an overview of conceptual issues, mechanisms and evolutionary theory (2010, background): “For example, Todrank and Heth (2003) suggest that animals produce odour signals (which are usually a blend of compounds or ‘signature mixtures’ sensu Wyatt 2004) that have a wide range of functions, from individual to kin to species recognition.”
Message ‘scent’: lemurs detect the genetic relatedness and quality of conspecifics via olfactory cues (2010, background): “All rights reserved. between potential mates (reviewed in: Penn 2002; Todrank & Heth 2003; Johnston 2008) or about estimates of genetic quality (Willse et al. 2006; Johansson & Jones 2007; Thom et al. 2008), information that is readily used by prospectivemates (Wedekind et al.1995; Penn & Potts…”
