Ventilatory frequency as a measure of the response of tammar wallabies (Macropus eugenii) to the odour of potential predators

This study uses changes in ventilatory frequency to quantify the physiological response of an Australian terrestrial herbivore, the tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii), to olfactory cues suggesting the presence of potential predators. Ventilatory frequency proved to be a quantifiable measure to assess...
