Analysis of chemicals from earthworms and fish that elicit prey attack by ingestively naive garter snakes (Thamnophis)

Materials previously shown to elicit increased tongue-flicking and prey attack in garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis) were isolated from both earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) and fish (Pimephales promelas). Both high- and low-molecular-weight components from earthworms and fish stimulated attacks a...
