DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22951
Abstract: Primate chemical communication remains underappreciated, as primates are considered to rely on other sensory modalities. However, various lines of evidence suggest that olfaction plays an important role in primate societies, including the conspicuous scent‐marking behavior… read more here.

Scent marking in shelter dogs: Effects of body size
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Applied Animal Behaviour Science"
DOI: 10.1016/j.applanim.2016.11.001
Abstract: Placing scent marks in the environment allows individuals to transfer information without direct interactions. Given that body size often indicates competitive ability, small individuals may preferentially communicate via scent marking because direct social interactions are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-08861-2
Abstract: How the presence of conspecifics affects scent mark deposition remains an understudied aspect of olfactory communication, even though scent marking occurs in different social contexts. Sex differences in scent-marking behaviour are common, and sex-specific effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arz124
Abstract: Many animal species use scent marks such as feces, urine, and glandular secretions to find mates, advertise their reproductive status, and defend an exclusive territory. Scent marking may be particularly important during dispersal, when individuals… read more here.

Anogenital scent-marking signals fertility in a captive female Alaotran gentle lemur
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Veterinary Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.940707
Abstract: The Lake Alaotra gentle lemur (Hapalemur alaotrensis) is one of the 25 most endangered primates in the world and shows low success rate in captive breeding programmes. It is therefore vital to further understand its… read more here.
