    Notes: Abstract Adult captive European “forest” reindeer,Rangifer tarandus L., were exposed to hindfoot interdigital (ID) secretion placed on the ground. The animals were tested with blanks and interdigital secretion from themselves and male and female group members, and secretion from excised glands of male and female “mountain” reindeer. Responses to the stimuli consisted of sniffing, licking, and olfactory searching on the ground. With forest reindeer secretions, each sex responded more to its own ID secretion than to that of the opposite sex. Of the mountain reindeer samples, male ID secretion released stronger responses. The responses did not vary systematically from June to October. The functional significance of the ID secretion in free-ranging reindeer is discussed.

    Experimental habitat scenting inhibits colonization by beaver,Castor canadensis (1989)
    Springer
    Journal of chemical ecology 15 (1989), S. 887-893 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-1561
    Keywords: Adirondacks ; beaver ; Castor canadensis ; castoreum ; nuisance beaver ; odors ; pheromone ; repellent ; scent marking ; territory ; wildlife damage

    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract Unoccupied beaver (Castor canadensis) sites in New York State were for two years experimentally scented with a mixture of beaver castoreum and anal gland secretion. These sites were colonized less often than unscented control sites. The beaver is the first mammal to have been shown experimentally to use intraspecific odor cues when settling in vacant habitat. Territorial pheromones may be useful as repellents for beaver or other rodents.
