Multimodal fertility cues in chimpanzees: How body odours complement sexual swellings

Marlen Kücklich, Madita Zetzsche, Sofya Dolotovskaya, Jakob W. Siepmann, L. Schmidt, Claudia Wiesner, B. Weiß, A. Widdig

This study investigates whether chimpanzee anogenital odours change during the fertile period and if males can detect these changes, finding subtle olfactory cues complement visual swelling signals.

Influence of visual information on sniffing behavior in a routinely trichromatic primate

B. M. Weiss, A. Widdig

This study examines how visual information influences olfactory behavior in Barbary macaques when exploring food and non-food items, finding that visual cues affect the timing of olfactory inspections and retrieval attempts.

Sniffing behavior of semi free-ranging Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus)

M. Simon, A. Widdig, B. M. Weiss

This study observes sniffing behavior in Barbary macaques, finding that sniffs are mostly food-related, more frequent in younger individuals, and influenced by sex and context.
