Intraspecific communication involves the activation of chemoreceptors and subsequent
activation of different central areas that coordinate the responses of the entire organism …

Pheromonal communication is widespread in salamanders and newts and may also be
important in some frogs and toads. Several amphibian pheromones have been behaviorally …

This first comprehensive study of the peripheral olfactory organ from a representative of the
large and economically important order of teleost fishes, the Perciformes, shows a compact …

Progestin stimulation of sperm hypermotility remains poorly understood despite having been
described in numerous vertebrate species. We show here that progestin stimulation of …

In contrast to the single sensory surface present in teleost fishes, several spatially
segregated subsystems with distinct molecular and functional characteristics define the …

Amphibia have two classes of olfactory receptors (ORs), class I (fish-like receptors) and
class II (mammalian-like receptors). These two receptor classes correspond to the two …

The goal of this study was to investigate the spatial organization of olfactory glomeruli and of
substances relevant to olfactory sensory neuron activity in the developing agnathan, the sea …

The term pheromone has been used to describe chemical signaling in most invertebrate and
vertebrate groups, including amphibians. Pheromones are typically defined as chemical …

The olfactory system allows animals to navigate in their environment to feed, mate, and
escape predators. It is well established that odorant exposure or electrical stimulation of the …

The adult Xenopus presents the unique capability to smell odors both in water and air
thanks to two different olfactory pathways. Nevertheless, the tadpole can initially perceive …
