Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

Olfaction in Mammals [PDF]

American Zoologist, 1967
This paper centers on selected—and particularly, little recognized— problems in mammalian olfaction: (1) With certain exceptions the spacing of the external nares in most mammals does not favor orientation in an odor gradient by simultaneous comparisons of odor intensities (tropotaxis).

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Evolution of Insect Olfaction [PDF]

Neuron, 2011
Neuroethology utilizes a wide range of multidisciplinary approaches to decipher neural correlates of natural behaviors associated with an animal's ecological niche. By placing emphasis on comparative analyses of adaptive and evolutionary trends across species, a neuroethological perspective is uniquely suited to uncovering general organizational and ...

Exposure of Healthy Individuals to Pleasant Odours During Sleep: Effects on Odour Identification and Sleep Quality

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
Sleeping with pleasant odours was associated with improved cued odour identification, particularly in the sandalwood group. Subjective night‐time awakenings showed a descriptive decrease. EEG data did not reveal robust changes in sleep architecture, though exploratory analyses suggested potential benefits for individuals with poorer baseline sleep ...

Bio‐inspired vision: From principle, material architectures to system‐level integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the development and mechanism of electronic and ionic bio‐inspired vision devices respectively. Then, it explores the impact of structure on bio‐inspired visual performance from the scale of intrinsic materials and device. Finally, it concludes that only by combining advanced software and technology can more complex vision ...

Interaction between Olfaction and Gustation by Using Synchrony Perception Task

i-Perception, 2011
It seems that interaction between olfaction (smell sensation) and gustation (taste sensation) will stronger than other interactions among five senses, although no one has ever confirmed psychophysically.

The scent of mating strategy: sociosexual orientation was associated with olfaction and body odor sniffing behavior in Chinese and American populations

BMC Psychology
Background Human sexuality and mating behaviors have been linked to the subjective importance of olfaction and body odor in one’s life. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between sociosexual orientation, subjective importance of olfaction,
