Thomomys

A predator odor affected a pocket gopher, Thomomys talpoides, population in western Canada. First live-trapping removed the gophers from plots of 4ha area in an orchard. Then synthetic sulfur compounds from stoat, Mustek erminea anal glands (1 1 mixture of 2-propylthietane and 3-propyl-l,2-dithiolane) were...
