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. © 1978 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
