This research focuses on the olfactory communication of petrels, investigating how these birds use scent for nest and partner recognition. It aims to analyze the volatile organic compounds emitted by their plumage and nests to understand their ecological role.
Sensory ecology, bird olfaction and emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are unexplored fields of research.
However, recent studies provided evidence that olfaction plays a fundamental role in the avian ecology, especially in hypogean petrels.
Petrels are known to return to the same nest with the same partner in the same colony each year.
Latest investigations strongly suggest that the birds use at least olfactory cues in nest and partner recognition with emission of specific and compl…
