摘要: Cutaneous scent glands have been described for a wide taxonomic range of mammalian species, including the Marsupialia (for reviews, see Strauss and Ebling, 1970; Eisenberg Kleiman, 1972; Thiessen Rice, 1976; Stoddart, 1980; Muller-Schwarze, 1983). Pronounced sexual dimorphism skin is strong indication that their secretions are involved in social communication and, hence, evolutionary importance (Darwin, 1874; Blaustein, 1981).
