Many mammalian species use chemosignals to coordinate reproduction by altering the
physiology and behavior of both sexes. Chemosignals prime reproductive physiology so that …

In sheep and goats, exposure of seasonally anestrous females to sexually active males
results in activation of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion and synchronized ovulation. This …

In many species of rodents, sense of smell is the most important source of information about
the social and nonsocial world. I selectively review the literature on chemical communication …

Covering: 1950 to 2015 We compiled a data set of the compounds that terrestrial vertebrates

Recognizing the individual and sexual identities of conspecifics is critical for adaptive social
behavior and, in most mammals this information is communicated primarily by …

In rodent species, such as the Syrian hamster, the expression of sexual preference requires
