Odorous secretions in anurans: morphological and functional assessment of serous glands as a source of volatile compounds in the skin of the treefrog Hypsiboas pulchellus (Amphibia: Anura: Hylidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-03)
Serous (granular or venom) glands occur in the skin of almost all species of adult amphibians, and are thought to be the source of a great diversity of chemical compounds. Despite recent advances in their chemistry, odorous ...
Morphological and functional aspects of volatile-producing glands in bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
(2005-01-01)
Abstract In this paper we focus on the occurrence and morphological aspects of exocrine glands in several bee species. Morphology of head labial, mandibular, Dufour, and abdominal tegumentar glands was investigated under ...

Chemical Composition of Metapleural Gland Secretions of Fungus-Growing and Non-fungus-growing Ants
(Springer, 2012-10-01)
The metapleural gland is exclusive to ants, and unusual among exocrine glands in having no mechanism for closure and retention of secretion. As yet, no clear conclusion has been reached as to the function of metapleural ...
