Sexual Selection and Proteinaceous Diversity in the Femoral Gland Secretions of Lacertid Lizards
Diversity, 2023 Sexual selection contributes to the diversity of chemical signals in various animal groups. Lizards are good model species to study how sexual selection shapes signal diversity, as they are a chemically oriented taxonomic group with different levels of ...

Development of a compact, IoT-enabled electronic nose for breath analysis [PDF]
, 2020 In this paper, we report on an in-house developed electronic nose (E-nose) for use with breath analysis. The unit consists of an array of 10 micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) metal oxide (MOX) gas sensors produced by seven manufacturers.

Chemical communication between synthetic and natural cells: a possible experimental design [PDF]
, 2013 The bottom-up construction of synthetic cells is one of the most intriguing and interesting research arenas in synthetic biology. Synthetic cells are built by encapsulating biomolecules inside lipid vesicles (liposomes), allowing the synthesis of one or ...

Preen gland microbiota covary with major histocompatibility complex genotype in a songbird
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Pathogen-mediated selection at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is thought to promote MHC-based mate choice in vertebrates. Mounting evidence implicates odour in conveying MHC genotype, but the underlying mechanisms remain uncertain.
