DOI: 10.1002/ffj.3429
Abstract: Determining whether odorants can be perceived in an odour mixture or whether the mixture smells different from its components remains challenging. Even in highly complex mixtures, the odour qualities of some elements can be perceived;… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.applanim.2018.09.003
Abstract: Abstract Conditioned taste aversion is an emerging conservation tool that can be used to limit inter-species conflict, for example decreasing predation on endangered species, or limiting the consumption of invasive toxic prey. Typically, managers wish… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0017
Abstract: For males, the behaviour of rival conspecifics can provide vital information about finding reproductively available females, and which have high-quality phenotypes. While valuable, this information represents sperm competition risk and even the potential for rejection… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.185843
Abstract: ABSTRACT Gastropod diversity is substantial in marine and freshwater habitats, and many aquatic slugs and snails use olfactory cues to guide their navigation behaviour. Examples include finding prey or avoiding predators based on kairomones, or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0265039
Abstract: Virtual reality (VR) headsets provide immersive audio-visual experiences for users, but usually neglect to provide olfactory cues that can provide additional information about our environment in the real world. This paper examines whether the introduction… read more here.

DOI: 10.2981/wlb.00744
Abstract: Ungulate–vehicle collisions pose a traffic safety issue as well as wildlife-conservation issues in many countries. While fences are recommended as reliable safety measures for motorways and other high-traffic volume roads, no generally accepted measures of… read more here.
