Multiomic evidence for microbial contributions to species-specific olfactory communication in wild tamarins

Closely related sympatric species are hypothesized to face strong selection against hybridization, favoring species-specific signals that maintain reproductive isolation. Within species, olfaction may also mediate social interactions and facilitate social cohesion. Here, we investigated the potential for microbiome-derived scent signals to contribute to inter- and intra-species communication in…
