More lipids were recovered from femoral gland secretions obtained during the breeding than the nonbreeding months, indicating that secretion deposits may be more detectable during the mating season.

Chemosensory identification of snake predators (Phyllorhynchus decurtatus) by banded geckos (Coleonyx variegatus)
- B. E. Dial, P. Weldon, B. Curtis
- Biology
- 1 September 1989
Coleonyx variegatus is capable of detecting snake integumentary chemicals and identifying the source of the chemicals as a predator, and it is suggested that geckos might identify chemical trails left on the substrate by passing snakes and avoid these areas.
Chemical signals in terrestrial vertebrates: search for design features.
A data set of the compounds that terrestrial vertebrates (amniotes) use to send chemical signals, and relationships between signal compound properties and signal function were compiled, and overall, relationships were scarce and formed only small-scale patterns.
Responses to Ophiophagous Snakes by Snakes of the Genus Thamnophis

The results from this study suggest that some of the same snake species recognized as predators by crotaline snakes are recognized as such by Thamnophis.

Poison frogs, defensive alkaloids, and sleepless mice: critique of a toxicity bioassay
- P. Weldon
- BiologyChemoecology
- 16 June 2017
This discussion critiques a toxicity bioassay of Neotropical poison frogs (Dendrobatidae), a group whose skins are known to possess a diverse array of bioactive alkaloids, where longer latencies of sleep onset were claimed to reflect greater toxicity.
Benzoquinones from millipedes deter mosquitoes and elicit self-anointing in capuchin monkeys (Cebus spp.)

- 24 May 2003
Female yellow fever mosquitoes were presented with two millipede secretory compounds and exhibited fewer landings, fed less frequently, and flew more frequently (a possible indication of repellency) in the presence of membranes treated with benzoquinones than with controls.
