- Chemical signatures in the preen oil of pied flycatchers: testing reproducibility and exploring ontogeny, Jeanjean et al. (2024). Outcome recorded: mixed.
Unlike the original study, we found no difference in chemical profiles between sexes (nestling‐rearing), casting doubt on the proposed role of preen oil as a sex semiochemical in this species.
