无论在实验室还是在野外，奥克尼田鼠 Microtus arvalis 都表现出对红狐 Vulpes vulpes 粪便气味的回避。 由于这些田鼠自新石器时代以来就与狐狸隔离开来，因此这些反应很可能是与生俱来的，而不是后天习得的。当将其应用于樟子松幼苗时，当有替代食物时，狐狸的气味会抑制田鼠的进食。
Orkney voles Microtus arvalis show avoidance of red fox Vulpes vulpes faecal odours, both in the laboratory and in the wild. Since these voles have been isolated from foxes since Neolithic times it is likely that these responses are innate rather than learned.When applied to young Scots pine saplings, the fox odour inhibited feeding by voles when alternative foods were available.
