Abstract:

Scent communication is an important component of behavior in mammals. Scent markings have been hypothesized to communicate a variety of messages, among them reproductive condition, ownership of territory and dominance status. This project examines the response to scent markings in the white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucoftus. In particular, this experiment tests whether or not dominance information is communicated by scent markings.
