Abstract: | Animals communicating via scent often deposit composite signals that incorporate odorants from multiple sources however, the function of mixing chemical signals remains understudied. We tested both a ‘multiple-messages’ and a ‘fixative’ hypothesis of composite olfactory signalling, which, respectively, posit that mixing scents functions to increase information content or prolong signal longevity. |
