The influence of olfactory and visual prey stimuli on the feeding behaviour of toads was studied as well as their response to lasting olfactory cues. A further aim was to find simple methods for testing olfactory responsiveness in anurans. Subjects were 8 adult specimens of the European species Bufo calamita (natterjack) kept in captivity one year at least. The results point to the rôle of olfaction in these animals.
研究了嗅觉和视觉猎物刺激对蟾蜍摄食行为的影响以及它们对持续嗅觉线索的反应。另一个目的是找到测试无尾两栖类嗅觉反应性的简单方法。实验对象是8只欧洲物种绿蟾蜍(黄条蟾蜍)的成年标本,它们至少被圈养了一年。结果表明嗅觉在这些动物中发挥了作用。
