| dc.description.abstract | Researchers often use predator repellents to deter mammalian predators from following their scent trails to nests. The effectiveness of repellents is largely unstudied. We tested naphthalene moth balls, a supposed repellent, and found them to be ineffective in deterring mammalian predators at unoccupied Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) nests that we supplemented with Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) eggs. | en_US |
