Dual processing of sulfated steroids in the olfactory system of an anuran amphibian

Dual processing of sulfated steroids in the olfactory system of an anuran amphibian

Chemical communication is widespread in amphibians, but if compared to later diverging tetrapods the available functional data is limited. The existing information on the vomeronasal system of anurans is particularly sparse. Amphibians represent a transitional stage in the evolution of the olfactory...
