The role played by odor in animal communication is currently underestimated and so understudied. In particular very little is known about the chemical changes underpinning the olfactory signals in animals including humans. And these is due also to

We have developed an effective methodology for sampling and analysis of odor signals in order to understand how they may be used in animal communication. Particularly, we use headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyze the volatile components of animal odors and scent-markings.
