Towards streamlined bank vole odor preference evaluation using Y-mazes

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Seed consumption by rodents causes substantial economic losses in agriculture and forest restoration. Rodents rely on their sensitive sense of smell to gather information about their environment. However, comparably little is known about how rodents use olfaction to locate food. We used bank voles to measure attraction to acorn odors in a Y-maze. Preferences were measured using two behaviors: approaching (time spent in odor preference zones) and investigation (numbers of nose pokes in odor nozzle), which yielded similar results. Shorter time intervals (15 and 30 s) in the preference zones were at least as good as the longer time interval (60 s) for detecting differences in approaching behavior. In this way, it is possible to reduce the measurement time with approximately 50%. Investigation, which was evaluated using only one time interval (180 s), yielded longer measurement time. Acorns were as preferred as the familiar, standard food (rodent chow) while an acorn aeration extract did not produce any
