Download or read book Chemical Signals in Vertebrate Predator prey Systems Involving Common Musk Turtles Sternotherus Odoratus Cottonmouths Agkistrodon Piscivorus and Common Snapping Turtles Chelydra Serpentina written by Neil Dazet and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chemical secretions from the Rathke's glands of common musk turtles have a variety of proposed functions including predator deterrence and attraction, but experimental studies testing these hypotheses are lacking. This study used laboratory and field experiments to test whether musk secretions had attraction or repellent effects on two natural predators, the cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus), and the common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina). In a laboratory experiment, I examined latency to feed and consumption times for cottonmouths offered musk-treated minnows and control minnows. In a field study, I investigated the ratio of snapping turtles appearing in traps with and without musk-treated bait. The latency to feed times for cottonmouths offered musk-treated minnows were not significantly different from those offered control minnows. However, prey consumption times for cottonmouths feeding on musk-treated minnows were significantly greater than those feeding on control minnows. These results suggest that the musk secretions may lengthen the time of a predation sequence, possibly allowing the turtle more time to escape from the predator. The number of snapping turtles appearing in traps with musk-treated bait was significantly greater than the number of snapping turtles in traps without musk-treated bait. These results support the predator attraction hypothesis, where the signal may attract additional predators that interfere with a predation event, providing an opportunity for the prey to escape.
Download or read book The Ecology of Tidal Freshwater Marshes of the United States East Coast written by William E. Odum and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is part of a series of community profiles produced by the Fish and Wildlife Service to provide up-to-date information on coastal ecological communities of the tidal freshwater marsh community along the Atlantic coast from southern New England to northern Florida. Tidal freshwater marshes occupy the uppermost portion of the estuary between the oligohaline or low salinity zone and nontidal freshwater wetlands. By combining the physical process of tidal flushing with the biota of the freshwater marsh, a dynamic, diverse, and distinct estuarine community has been created. The profile covers all structural and functional aspects of the community: its geology, hydrology, biotic components, and energy, nutrient and biomass cycling.
