• D’Scent of Man: A Comparative Survey of Primate Chemosignaling in Relation to Sex. “This ever-growing body of evidence points to a critical role of scent in guiding the social behavior and reproductive function throughout the primate order.
• Sex steroids as pheromones in mammals: The exceptional role of estradiol “…these data demonstrate a critical role of male-sourced E2 in these major mammalian pheromonal effects.”
• The perfume of reproduction in birds: Chemosignaling in avian social life “Olfactory signals reach brain areas controlling reproductive behaviors in birds.”
• Epigenomics and the concept of degeneracy in biological systems “A multi-level regulatory network consisting of such mechanisms as modular utilization of protein domains, alternative splicing and epigenomic modifications of DNA has been the driving force behind the wide radiation, rapid evolution and evolutionary success of eukaryotic organisms.”
• An olfactory demography of a diverse metropolitan population “Olfactory acuity in the population is most strongly influenced by age, followed by gender. We also show a large number of diverse correlations between demographic factors and the perception of individual odours that may reflect different prior experiences with these odours between demographic groups.”
• Testosterone increases circulating dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels in the male rhesus macaque

“The adrenal steroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate (DHEAS) are two of the most abundant hormones in the human circulation. Furthermore, they are released in a circadian pattern and show a marked age-associated decline. Adult levels of DHEA and DHEAS are significantly higher in males than in females, but the reason for this sexual dimorphism is unclear.”
