摘要: In a replicated experiment, nonbreeding winter populations of Microtus montanus were given supplements rolled oats coated with 6-methoxybenzoxazolinone, naturally occurring plant derivative. After 3 weeks this feeding regime, samples from the demonstrated high incidence pregnancy in females and testicular hypertrophy males. Control receiving only solvent showed no reproductive activity. These results demonstrate that presence 6-methoxybenzoxazolinone food resource acts as ultimate cue to trigger effort montanus.
