Sinopsis

By presenting an abundance of scientific evidence throughout the text on olfaction and the olfactory concealment theory, Predator-Prey Dynamics reshapes the way that scientists view animal behavior. The olfactory concealment theory demonstrates that olfaction is an effective method used by predators to locate prey because animals constantly release a stream of odorants. However, animals can minimize their risk of being detected by an olfactory predator by hiding where updrafts, turbulence and suboptimal wind speeds occur (all predictable in time and space). Using published literature to test predictions, this book will help biologists and wildlife professionals manage olfactory predators and their prey.
