Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell

open access: yesIbis, Volume 167, Issue 4, Page 853-881, October 2025.
Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...

Exploring the importance of aromatic plants' extrafloral volatiles for pollinator attraction

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 517-528, October 2025.
Summary Aromatic plants occur in many plant lineages and have widespread ethnobiological significance. Yet, the ecological significance and evolutionary origins of aromatic volatile emissions remain uncertain. Aromatic emissions have been implicated in defensive interactions but may also have other important functions.

Myrtus communis essential oil mitigates bisphenol A‐induced reproductive and lipidomic alterations in a male rat model

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 20, October 2025.
Abstract Bisphenol A (BPA), a widespread endocrine disruptor, induces male reproductive toxicity by impairing spermatogenesis and altering hormonal homeostasis. This study investigated the protective effects of Myrtus communis essential oil (EOMC) or vitamin E (Vit E) in adult male rats exposed to BPA (100 mg/kg/day).
