Relationships between chemical structure and rat repellency. II. Compounds screened between 1950 and 1960 Relationships between chemical structure and rat repellency. II. Compounds screened between 1950 and 1960

Over 4,600 compounds, chiefly organic types, were evaluated using both a food acceptance test (Part A) and a barrier penetration bioassay (Part B), to correlate relationships between chemical structure and rodent repellency.These chemicals are indexed and classified according to the functional groups present and to the degree of substitution within their molecular structures. The results...

Homing to nest baskets by wild female mallards Homing to nest baskets by wild female mallards

One hundred and thirteen female mallards were caught on nest baskets, banded, and marked with nasal saddles.
