Primate social systems, scent-marking and their applications in mobile and static sensor networks

Here we review primate social systems and their potential applications to mobile and static sensor networks. We particularly focus on scent-marking as an aspect of primate communication. The intention of this study is to learn from primates and apply the results, such as scent-marking, into mobile and static sensor networks.
