- Bacterial communities in meerkat anal scent secretions vary with host sex, age, and group membership (2014, background): “2000; Safi and Kerth 2003) and mothers may transmit bacteria to their offspring during the early stage of life (Davies 1971; Mändar and Mikelsaar 1996, reviewed in Funkhouser and Bordenstein 2013), bacteria may also be at the origin of group or kin scent signatures (Theis et al.”
- A dual function of echolocation: Bats use echolocation calls to identify familiar and unfamiliar individuals (2010, unknown): “In bat species studied to date, scent plays a key role in species recognition (S. bilineata; Caspers et al. 2009), recognition of colony members (De Fanis & Jones 1995; Bouchard 2001; Safi & Kerth 2003), kin (Gustin & McCracken 1987) and individuals (Caspers et al. 2008).”
- Scent marking within and between groups of wild banded mongooses (2010, result): “In contrast to many other species (European badger, Gorman, Kruuk & Leitch, 1984; Buesching, Waterhouse & Macdonald, 2002; Bechstein’s bat Myotis bechsteinii, Safi & Kerth, 2003), different social groups did not have statistically distinct scent profiles.”
