Why are predator cues in the field not more evocative? A ‘real world’ assay elicits subtle, but meaningful, responses by wild rodents to predator scents

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Mismatches between highly-standardized laboratory predatory assays and more realistic environmental conditions may lead to different outcomes. Understanding rodents’ natural responses to predator scents is important.

Scent of a Fly [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 2008
Sexual courtship is a highly ritualized behavior in many animals. Recent work in the vinegar fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has illuminated how the pheromone cis-vaccenyl acetate modulates sexual behavior in the fly. Chemosensory receptors and a sexually dimorphic circuit activated by this pheromone have been identified.

Olfaction Modulates Inter-Subject Correlation of Neural Responses

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Odors can be powerful stimulants. It is well-established that odors provide strong cues for recall of locations, people and events. The effects of specific scents on other cognitive functions are less well-established.

Real-Time Visualization of Scent Accumulation Reveals the Frequency of Floral Scent Emissions

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Flowers emit a bouquet of volatiles to attract pollinators or to protect flowers from pathogen and herbivore attacks. Most floral volatiles are synthesized in the cytoplasm of petals and released into the headspace at a specific time of day.
