斑点鬣狗（Crocuta crocuta）的气味标记包括肛囊分泌物的沉积，或称“糊状物”，并可能表明领土所有权。为了测试是否圈养鬣狗分类和歧视个人使用气味线索粘贴，作者进行了行为歧视生物测定和记录鬣狗调查膏提取各种同种捐助者。在实验1中，受试者将大多数调查行为指向陌生的土狼和异性成员的气味。在实验2中，男性鬣狗区分并发介绍糊从各种不熟悉的女性在类似的生殖状态。因此，粘贴的气味标记传达了有关性别，熟悉程度，甚至同种身份的信息。除了领土维护，气味标记还可以传达有关个人性状态的信息。
Scent marking in spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) includes the deposition of anal sac secretions, or “paste,” and presumably advertises territorial ownership. To test whether captive hyenas classify and discriminate individuals using odor cues in paste, the authors conducted behavioral discrimination bioassays and recorded hyena investigation of paste extracted from various conspecific donors. In Experiment 1, subjects directed most investigative behavior toward scents from unfamiliar hyenas and members of the opposite sex. In Experiment 2, male hyenas discriminated between concurrent presentations of paste from various unfamiliar females in similar reproductive states. Thus, pasted scent marks convey information about the sex, familiarity, and even identity of conspecifics. Aside from territory maintenance, scent marking may also communicate information about individual sexual status.
