Abstract/Contents: | "The present experiments were designed to identify inexpensive substitutes for D-pulegone, an effective vertebrate repellant. In experiment 1, European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) were presented with D-pulegone and 12 additional menthone derivatives in one-cup tests. No derivative was as effective as D-pulegone. In experiment 2, starlings were presented with DL-pulegone, D-pulegone, and L-pulegone in one cup tests. DL-pulegone was as aversive as D-pulegone, and both DL-pulegone and D-pulegone were more aversive than L-pulegone. More extensive evaluation of DL-pulegone as a vertebrate repellant appears warranted." |
