• Brown bears possess anal sacs and secretions may code for sex (2011, methodology): “To check for sex difference in the digital composition of AGS, the digital matrices were placed in a hierarchical cluster analysis with squared Euclidean distance (e.g. Yuan et al., 2004).”
• Giant panda scent-marking strategies in the wild: role of season, sex and marking surface (2012, background): “Captive studies have provided clear confirmation that both urine and anogenital gland secretions (AGS) are used as signals, conveying individual identity, sex, reproductive condition, age and competitive status (Swaisgood et al. 1999, 2000, 2002; White et al. 2002, 2003, 2004; Hagey & Macdonald 2003”
