Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 4, Page 386-397, December 2025.We investigated communication in the bare‐nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus), which is distinctive for depositing its cube‐shaped scats in latrines. We found that bare‐nosed wombats possess a vomeronasal organ for olfactory signal reception, associate their latrines with features in their landscape (particularly rocks, logs, and burrow entrances), have ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.Our study investigated the microbiomes of suprapubic and sternal scent glands in two wild tamarin species to explore their putative roles in odor production and communication. Using metagenomic sequencing, we identified 18 odor‐associated microbial taxa and 26 related metabolic pathways, finding significant differences in microbial diversity and ...

Evolutionary morphology of the lizard chemosensory system
Scientific Reports, 2017 Foraging mode plays a pivotal role in traditional reconstructions of squamate evolution. Transitions between modes are said to spark concerted changes in the morphology, physiology, behaviour, and life history of lizards.

PRENATAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE VOMERONASAL ORGAN IN RABBIT
Slovenian Veterinary Research, 2019 The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is the peripheral receptors, with the ability to detect pheromones, and so it has a role in social behavior, sexual reactions and reproduction.

Archivum histologicum japonicum, 1986 Vomeronasal tissues from four male gnotobiotic calves were prepared for transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Features described include: non-myelinated nerves in the non-neurosensory lamina propria, capillaries in the base of the neurosensory epithelium, sustentacular cells with microvilli 22-26 micron long, neurosensory cells with numerous ...

Current Zoology, 2010 We investigated the role of the main olfactory and accessory olfactory systems (MOS and AOS respectively) in the detection of androstenone. We used the following experimental approaches: behavioral, surgical removal of the vomeronasal organ (VNX ...

Ligand Recognition and Function of TAARs
Sensory Neuroscience, Volume 1, Issue 2, September 2025.The trace amine‐associated receptor (TAAR) family represents a highly conserved group of G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) in vertebrates. TAARs specifically bind to different amine ligands and mediate a variety of physiological and behavioral processes.

Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 9, Page 1217-1232, September 1, 2025.Abstract Blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius Schott) and mugwort (Artemisia campestris L.) are plants traditionally used to treat various pathologies, including hypertension. The vasodilatory and hypotensive effects of blackberry were investigated through experiments in rat models (n = 5 rats per group) and compared with those of mugwort, which had been ...

Deciphering the chemical language of inbred and wild mouse conspecific scents
eLifeIn most mammals, conspecific chemosensory communication relies on semiochemical release within complex bodily secretions and subsequent stimulus detection by the vomeronasal organ (VNO).
