Computerized pattern recognition: a new technique for the analysis of chemical communication

A B Smith 3rd et al. Science. .

Abstract

Computerized pattern recognition techniques can be applied to the study of complex chemical communication systems. Analysis of high resolution gas chromatographic concentration patterns of the major volatile components of the scent marks of a South American primate, Saguinus fuscicollis, demonstrates that the concentration patterns can be used to predict the gender and subspecies of unknown donors.
