Abstract
Male pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) mark vegetation by rubbing with their subauricular glands. Males respond to scent marks by sniffing, licking, thrashing, and marking. Hand-raised males were confronted with artificial scent marks consisting of whole extract of the subauricular gland or synthesized compounds corresponding to those identified from the extract. Of these, isovaleric acid released the strongest responses.Entities:
