Methylmercury affects the central nervous system in humans — especially the sensory, visual, and auditory areas concerned with coordination. The most severe effects lead to widespread brain damage, resulting in mental derangement, coma, and death (Clarkson and Marsh 1982 USPHS 1994). In mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus), after acute oral mercury poisoning was...

As a result of nuclear weapons testing, mandibles of Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) from California increased from <9 Bq 90Sr/kg ash weight (AW) to >204 Bq/kg AW between 1952 and 1960 (Table 32.14) (Schultz and Longhurst 1963).

Tarsal, metatarsal, caudal, interdigital and preorbital glandular structures have been described in the black-tailed deer, Odocoileus hemionus columbianus. The tarsal organ received considerable attention from chemists and behavioral scientists during the early years of chemical research on mammalian semiochemicals. The major constituent of the complex mixture of volatile compounds associated with the tarsal hair tuft of this mule deer, (Z)-6-dodecen-4-olide [ 125], was subsequently found to be a mixture of the R and S enantiomers in a ratio of 89 11 respectively [ 126]. It was later found that this compound does not originate in the tarsal structure itself, but that it is extracted from the animal s urine by the tarsal hair tuft, which is specially adapted to extract lipids from urine [127]. 

Humans and insects can discriminate enantiomers of the same compound (Friedman and Miller, 1971 Russell and Hills, 1971) (Table 2.1). Blacktailed deer Odocoileus hemionus columhianus) discriminate between the two geometric isomers and somewhat between the enantiomers of the deer lactone (Fig. 2.2) (Brownlee eta/., 1969 Muller-Schwarzeeta/., 1976,1978a). Young male Asian elephants have more (+) than (-) enantiomer of frontalin in their temporal secretion. Their secretion and(+)-frontalin affect conspecifics little. However, the nearly recemic enantiomer mix from mature bulls attracts ovulating females and repels males (Greenwood etal., 2005)...
