Avian olfactory receptor gene repertoires: evidence for a well-developed sense of smell in birds?Among vertebrates, the sense of smell is mediated by olfactory receptors (ORs) expressed in sensory neurons within the olfactory epithelium. Comparative genomic studies suggest that the olfactory acuity of mammalian species correlates positively ...

Des oiseaux qui ont du nezLes oiseaux ont-ils besoin de leur odorat? Il a longtemps été pris pour acquis que leurs yeux suffisaient largement à trouver leur nourriture —en plus d’une capacité, pour certaines espèces, à détecter le champ magnétique terrestre pour s’orienter. Mais des études récentes remettent en doute cette idée.

Can Birds Smell? Avian Olfaction Might Be as Important as It Is To Fish and MammalsChallenging conventional wisdom, researchers studying bird DNA have revealed genetic evidence that many birds possess a highly developed sense of smell. Read the article to learn more.

Evolutionary Study of Birds’ Sense of Smell Reveals Important Clues for Behavior and AdaptationFrom slight sparrows to preening peacocks to soaring falcons, birds have long been known to possess distinct abilities in their sense of smell, but little
