University essay from SLU/Dept. of EcologyAbstract : Fear in animals is a motivational state that cause the animals to change their behaviour.

University essay from Linköpings universitet/BiologiAbstract : Olfactory signals are an important means of social communication among felids. However, not much is known about how individual volatiles of body-borne odours influence behavioural responses. 2-acetyl-1pyrroline has recently been identified as a characteristic component of tiger marking fluid, while being absent from lion marking fluid.

5. Behavioural responses of mice to predator odour components
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakultetenAbstract : Having means to detect and avoid potential predators is a necessity for prey species. Most mammalian prey species are able to detect odours emitted by predators and to adapt their behaviour accordingly. These odour cues are therefore considered to act as semiochemicals. Predator odours consist of several dozen different odourants. READ MORE
