| Abstract: | Urine of the black-tailed deer is the source of the  deer lactone, which is deposited on the tarsal gland tufts by rub-urination. The enantiomer composition of the lactone from the urine of the female is 89(R)-(–)/11(S)-(+). Responses by deer were strongest toward the synthetic racemic lactone in the social test and toward the natural lactone in the choice test. In both tests, the (–)- lactone released slightly stronger responses than its enantiomer.Odocoileus hemionus columbianus. |
