That paper is based on ethology. Which means it uses the rules of ethology. Which is what I follow.

To make this interesting, some things mentioned in that paper, are in direct conflict with many current methods of field study.

To play your silly quiz game, can you tell me how its in conflict with common field study methods? To offer you a direction, Its directly related to the X2 test.

Also, the type of information you eluded to is not commonly published in peer reviewed mags. Its normally published in natural history mags. That is, how it effects the ethology of the reptiles. As opposed to the biological or chemical makeup of pheromones. Can you tell me why?

When you first asked me the pheromone question, I offered you the exact right answer, its how they communicate. Which is verified in that paper.

That paper mentioned (carpender) do you know who that is and what he has done, as he and I have worked on many of the same things.

also, once you indicated you had some knowledge of what I did with varanids. Maybe that was not you. Anyway, when I came here, you guys feared I would do the same thing here. Let me explain, I ran the world of varanid over and left them in the dust. And there was good reason, they laid in the middle of the road and waited to get run over. Which is what your doing here. Yelling and screaming at the road train that is I, to stop. I am not going to stop and the only way to not get run over is to either move out of the way, or go faster then I do. There is a huge difference with varanids and here. With varanids, they could not reliably breed varanids. So it was easy road kill. Here, some of you are light years ahead of me in breeding hognose. So I stated, I am not interested in that aspect, as its already done. I am interested in hognose, being hognose. Which in this case is how they use these pheromones you bring up here. You see, there's another conflict. pt1
