Female olfactory cues increase mortality in mice.

“Males that were exposed to female odours in conjunction with mating also showed an increased mortality rate across the exposure period”

Female olfactory cues decrease fertility in mice.

“males exposed to female olfactory cues from middle- to old age (from 10 to 24 months of age) showed reduced late-life fertility”

Female olfactory cues extend lifespan in mice.

“the lifespan of female mice can be increased significantly by odors from adult females administered transiently, that is from 3 days until 60 days of age.”
