The Chemical Ecology of Elephants: 21st Century Additions to Our Understanding and Future Outlooks. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2021 Simple Summary Among all taxa, messages transmitted via chemical signals are the oldest and most universal. For Asian and African elephants, odors convey information between individuals, and between elephants and their environment.

Reverse chemical ecology in a moth: machine learning on odorant receptors identifies new behaviorally active agonists. [PDF]
Cell Mol Life Sci, 2021 The concept of reverse chemical ecology (exploitation of molecular knowledge for chemical ecology) has recently emerged in conservation biology and human health. Here, we extend this concept to crop protection.
