Divergent evolution among teleost V1r receptor genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 The survival of vertebrate species is dependent on the ability of individuals to adequately interact with each other, a function often mediated by the olfactory system. Diverse olfactory receptor repertoires are used by this system to recognize chemicals.
