Urine washing and urinary odour profiles in relation to dominance rank status in wild male capuchin monkeys (Cebus imitator)

Urine washing and urinary odour profiles in relation to dominance rank status in wild male capuchin monkeys (Cebus imitator)

Urine plays an essential role in mammalian olfactory communication, although its potential role in primates has long been overlooked owing to focus on their visual adaptations for communication. Here, we combined behavioural and chemical data to test the role of urine in signalling male dominance in...
