The goal of this special issue is to highlight how active odorant sampling by animals serves as an essential component in odorant discrimination and perception. Odorant sampling behavior, leading to the delivery of temporally dynamic and spatially differentiating odorant pulses to olfactory receptors, takes many forms in the animal kingdom. Respiratory sniffing by terrestrial vertebrates, antennule flicking by crustaceans, surging
