回顾和讨论了鸽子嗅觉导航研究工作取得的主要成果，同时考虑到不同的解释和 K. SCHMIDT-KOENIG 最近的批判性评论。来自不同实验室的不同作者报道了一些重要的实验，表明嗅觉丧失的鸟类在从陌生地点归巢时受到严重损害。此外，在不熟悉的地方，嗅觉丧失会干扰最初的定向；在某些环境和训练条件下，鸽子会发展出非嗅觉导航机制的说法在最近的实验中无法得到证实。所进行的实验：a）通过防止鸟类在外出途中和/或在释放地点闻到气味，b）通过迂回方式运输鸟类，以及c）通过让鸟类在与释放地点不同的地点感知大气气味，所有结果都形成了关于鸽子如何利用当地气味来固定其相对于家的位置的连贯图片......
The main results achieved by research work on pigeon olfactory navigation are reviewed and discussed, taking into account different interpretations and a recent critical review by K. SCHMIDT-KOENIG. Crucial experiments demonstrating that anosmic birds are heavily impaired in homing from unfamiliar sites have been reported by different authors from different laboratories. In addition, initial orientation is disturbed by anosmia over unfamiliar areas; the claim that, in some environmental and training conditions, pigeons develop a non-olfactory navigational mechanism could not be confirmed in the most recent experiments. The experiments performed a) by preventing birds from smelling during the outward journey and/or at the release site, b) by transporting the birds by a circuitous way, and c) by allowing birds to perceive atmospheric odours at a site different from that of release, all yielded results which form a coherent picture as to how pigeons use local odours to fix their position with respect to home...
