Abstract

Free-ranging muskrats were trapped in scented and blank traps in New York State at local ponds during all seasons and at a wildlife refuge in spring and early summer. In a total of 4839 trap-nights, 65 muskrats were caught. Trapping success was 1.34%. The overall responses to differently scented traps differed significantly. Adults preferentially entered blank and food-baited traps, whereas young showed no preference to blank, musk, or control odor. It appears that adults actively avoid musk, especially during the months May through July.

摘要

在纽约州的当地池塘和野生动物保护区，在所有季节和春季及初夏期间，用有气味和无气味的陷阱捕捉自由放养的麝鼠。在总共 4839 个陷阱夜中，捕获了 65 只麝鼠。捕获成功率为 1.34%。对不同气味的陷阱的总体反应有显著差异。成年麝鼠优先进入无气味和有食物诱饵的陷阱，而幼鼠则对无气味、麝鼠气味或对照气味没有偏好。似乎成年麝鼠主动避免麝鼠气味，特别是在 5 月至 7 月期间。
