Full Description
In August 2017, the Chemical Signals in Vertebrates (CSiV) group held its 14th triennial meeting at Cardiff University in Wales. This well established international conference brings together leaders and students in the field of olfactory communication and chemical signaling of vertebrates to present new advances in their research as well as synopses of disparate areas under new angles. This volume is a collection of the proceedings of this meeting authored by leading experts in this field that covers a wide variety of topics in chemical ecology.

Encoded information within urine influences behavioural responses among European badgers (Meles meles).- 5. LPS-induced immune system stimulation alters urinary volatiles and behaviour in growing pigs.- 6. A field study of wild echidna responses to conspecific odour.- 7. How diet affects vertebrate semiochemistry.- 8. The social function of latrines: A hypothesis-driven research approach.- 9. The effects of artificial fragrances on human olfactory communication.- 10.
