| volatile components in defensive spray of the hog-nosed skunk,conepatus mesoleucus. | gc-ms analysis of the anal sac secretion from the hog-nosed skunk,conepatus mesoleucus, showed two major volatile components, (e)-2-butene-1-thiol and (e)-s-2-butenyl thioacetate. minor volatile components identified from this secretion were phenylmethanethiol, 2-methylquinoline, 2-quinolinemethanethiol, and bis[(e)-2-butenyl] disulfide. 3-methyl-1-butanethiol, a major component in the defensive spray of the striped skunk,mephitis mephitis, and the spotted skunk,spilogale putorius, was absent fr ... | 1993 | 24249022 |
| comparative histology of the scent glands of five species of skunks. | a comparative histological study of the papilla and fundic region of the scent glands of mephitis mephitis, m. macroura, spilogale putorius. s. pygmaea and conepatus mesoleucus was conducted. both the papilla and fundic region consist of a mucosa and a muscularis. the entire organ is covered by a fibrous capsule. the glandular tissue has a compound tubulo-alveolar arrangement where both the alveoli and tubules are lined by simple cuboidal serous cells. the scent glands are highly modified, enlar ... | 1982 | 7076538 |
