Physiological and behavioural responses of Australian and exotic prey to the scent of native and introduced predators

This study examined the physiological and behavioural effects of a stress-inducing stimulus (predator odour) on potential prey species (Australian native and exotic). The aim was to determine if differences in the response of prey were related to the scent of evolutionary known predators compared to...
