• Dear enemies or nasty neighbors? Causes and consequences of variation in the responses of group-living species to territorial intrusions (2018, background): “Group-specific odors may be underpinned by differences in symbiotic bacteria found in glandular secretions (Theis et al. 2012; Leclaire et al. 2014).”
• Social behavior and the microbiome (2015, background): “the oral cavity, the vagina, the cloaca, and scent glands) suggests that the pattern may be widespread across body sites [12,24,25 ,28].”
