Abstract
We investigated the physicochemical and sensory bases of anthranilate repellency to European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris). Physicochemial parameters that control volatility were positively correlated with avoidance. Nasal trigeminal chemoreception and olfaction were important for sensory detection. Methyl, isobutyl, ethyl, and isobutyl methyl anthranilate are as aversive dimethyl anthranilate (methyl-N-methyl anthranilate) (DMA).This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
