Labra, A., & Hoare, M. (2014). Chemical recognition in a snake–lizard predator–prey system. acta ethologica, 1-7.
Introduction
In the recent article by Labra & Hoare they looked to observe whether chemical signals of the prey can be sensed by the predator and whether chemical signals of the predator can be sensed by the prey. In this experiment they used one snake Philodryas chamissonis to discriminate between scents of two lizard prey species which it preys on, Liolaemus nitidus and L. chiliensis. These lizard species belong to same genus and live in the same area except L.chiliensis which mainly is on Continue reading...
