		That gland is located on the upper surface of the abdomen, between the last and next-to-last segments (see plate 7A in Ribbands 1953 and figure 7 in Wenner 1971a).
		Whether the scent gland was open or closed made no difference in the pattern of recruitment at the two stations - at the feeding station compared to a station 30 meters away from that station.
		Even though the question of Nasanov gland function may appear to some to be peripheral to the dance language controversy, this episode provides another example of the application of different scientific approaches during the course of research on a specific problem.

	Fun Zone: The Mammal Society
		Carnivores are profligate in their use of social odours; they are equipped with a dazzling array of scent glands, and they make full use of the olfactory opportunites presented by their urine and faeces.
		Scent organs containing sebaceous glands produce oily secretions that are long lasting and are used to mark objects and other animals.
		The scents derived from them are used in short term signaling and may be used to mark objects or they may be released directly into the air.

	Scent glands (from artiodactyl) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Preorbital glands, immediately in front of the eyes, are present in the giant forest hog (Hylochoerus meinertzhageni), in all cervids except the roe deer, and, among the bovids, in duikers, many neotragines, gazelles and their allies, and the hartebeest group.
		Typically, a gland consists of either cuboidal or columnar epithelium resting on a basement membrane and is surrounded by a plexus, or meshwork, of blood vessels.
		Glands are tissues that produce substances that are necessary for the functioning of other tissues or organs.

		Made from the secretions of whitetail tarsal glands, forehead glands, preorbital glands or interdigital glands, these attractor scents are used in much the same way as urine attractor scents.
		Like urine attractor scents, gland scents can be used to lay down scent trails or to mask your odor near a stand.
		Leave a scent trail to your stand by dragging the gland along the ground with a piece of twine tied to a belt loop.

		These glands consist of a tuft of elongated hairs that is underlaid by an area of enlarged sebaceous glands.
		The urine that remains on the gland undergoes some reactions with the air and with bacteria to produce the gland's characteristic smell.
		After completing a study of the secretory glands that underlay the Tarsal tuft researchers at the University of Georgia were surprised to learn that the activity of these glands did not change during the year and that there was no difference in activity between male and females.

		The tarsal gland is a scent gland, and undoubtedly is the most important scent gland on the Whitetail Deer.
		In fact, this gland is so important, that behavioral studies still have not determined or fully understand the complex role that this gland plays in the communication among deer.
		The way that the tarsal gland works is through sebaceous glands that are beneath the skin and connected to the hair follicles on the deer's hocks.

		Sex steroids are not required for ferrets to discriminate same- from opposite-sex anal scent gland odors at high concentrations.
		Estradiol augments ferrets’ ability to detect and/or be attracted to low concentrations (such as might be encountered in the natural environment) of both male and female anal scent gland odors.
		Glomeruli are clumps of neuropil where axons of olfactory sensory neurons synapse with the dendrites of mitral cells and are important for initial coding of odor quality and intensity.

		Anal sacs are scent glands of the cat and dog located at 4:00 and 8:00 around the rectum.
		First, any time a finger is inserted in the rectum and the scent glands squeezed, the operator is crushing mucosa, the delicate absorptive surface that lines the distal colon and rectum.
		In the normal cat or dog, these scent glands are expressed when a large stool passes through the rectum, pushing outward to leave a scant drop of anal gland secretion on the stool.

		Javelina have a distinct dorsal gland on the rump that is essential in much species-specific behavior.
		Members of a Javelina herd rub musk on each other to establish a scent for the group.
		The musk gland usually comes off easily with the hide when the animal is dressed out, but since musk is also all over the Javelina's hide, the hunter must be careful that hands and knives that touch the hide don't touch the meat.

		Hi Mick, I've never heard of 'gland tail' but I had a dog with something similar to what you descibe though the spot was almost bald & a bit scaly and it was lower.
		According to my vet it was due to tail gland hyperplasia (apparently dogs have a non-functional scent gland on the tail called the precaudle gland).
		I think it is to with the gland in the tail, some un-neutered cats get it too, they call it "stud tail" Don't think there is a cure, but have never heard of it doing any damage either.

	Spurr et al.—Ferret anal gland scent lures
		Abstract We tested scent lures made from the anal gland secretions of male and female ferrets (Mustela furo L.) at 0.1–2% concentration in “Albert”, a solid, long-life, casein-based formulation, as attractants for feral ferrets in winter and spring.
		The traps lured with the 2% female scent caught both male and female ferrets in approximately equal numbers, at a time of year when it is sometimes difficult to capture females.
		Capture rates of female ferrets increased with increasing female scent lure concentration, but this response was not shown by male ferrets, nor was it shown by either sex to increases in concentration of male scent lures.

		Skunks are members of the weasel family, all of which possess scent glands near the anus.
		The glands contain approximately 15 cc of a yellowish, oily liquid.
		Before a skunk discharges its scent glands, it will usually give a warning by stamping its feet rapidly, raising its tail straight up, clicking its teeth, and growling or hissing.
