Wild mammals cause foraging damage to crops worldwide and nonlethal methods are required for controlling such damage. Many wildlife management situations demand protection of untreated foods. We tested learned food aversion plus an odor cue as a para

Lethal methods of controlling wildlife foraging damage may present difficulties regarding conservation, ethics, welfare, and efficacy, providing an imperative to develop non-lethal alternatives. Learned food aversions offer a benign, targeted alterna

Gender-related differences in growth and concentration of secondary metabolites have been documented in dioecious plants. Males usually grow faster than females, whilst females allocate more resources to reproduction and chemical defences than males,

Chemicals that reduce food intake by stimulation of satiation receptors could offer a novel, nonlethal method of reducing feeding damage to crops or stored products by vertebrate pests. Such chemicals result in a deep-seated, physiological response w

There are increasing demands for non-lethal methods of resolving foraging conflict between people and a wide range of wildlife species. Badgers make good models for studying human–wildlife conflict resolution, and they epitomise the circumstances d

Summary 1 Non-lethal methods of controlling wildlife foraging damage may offer conservation, ethical, legal and efficacy advantages over lethal control. Chemical repellents present a potential non-lethal approach, but have not been adequately researc

Male mice produce scent marks by depositing urine throughout their territory. The scent marks contain a number of pheromones and contain major urinary proteins (MUPs). Up to 1 g of these MUPs may be produced everyday. It is therefore likely that scen

Plants have evolved an array of defense chemicals that inhibit the feeding of vertebrate herbivores and therefore have potential for agricultural and environmental applications to reduce feeding damage. We investigated the relationship between struct

The potential of cinnamamide, a non-lethal repellent, to induce a conditioned taste aversion in house mice ( Mus domesticus ) was investigated. Mice were presented with saccharin solution, then assigned to one of four groups, each of six individuals,

Woodpigeons Columba palumbus cause significant damage to oilseed rape Brassica napus (Cruciferae) in Britain, especially between January and March. The potential of cinnamamide, a non-lethal chemical repellent, to protect growing oilseed rape from wo
