Burger JW. 1990. Response of Hatchling Pine Snakes (Pituophis melanoleucus) to Chemical Cues of Sympatric Snakes. Copeia. 1990(4):1160-1163
This paper examines the ability of pine snake (Pituophis melanoleucus ) hatchling to discriminate between the odors of pine, corn (Elaphe guttata ), rat (E. obsoleta ), milk (Lampropeltis triangulum ), and king (L. getulus ) snakes that occur together in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.
