What smells? Developing in‐field methods to characterize the chemical composition of wild mammalian scent cues
Abstract Olfactory cues play an important role in mammalian biology, but have been challenging to assess in the field. Current methods pose problematic issues with sample storage and transportation, limiting our ability to connect chemical variation in scents with relevant ecological and behavioral...
