Abstract: | Browsing reductions for the predator feces tested were: bobcat Felis rufus-51%; mountain lion F. concolor-27%; wolf Canis lupus-17%; and coyote C. latrans-8%. The efficacy of fecal extracts correlated with the concentration of predator feces in initial formulations (5, 10 and 20% by weight). Increasing the concentration of feces to 30% for bobcat and mountain lion did not increase their repellency. Fecal odors of predators significantly suppressed the feeding activities of black-tailed deer Odocoileus hemionus columbianus. |
