Olfactory Research in Dogs
Editat de Lucia Lazarowskien Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 oct 2023
In four clearly arranged sections, readers will discover specialist contributions on:
- the fundamentals of olfaction, anatomy, comparative olfactory neuroscience and dysfunction
- methodological reflections on canine olfactometry and essential implications for practice, comprising dog selection for scent detection, handler bias and signal detection concepts
- the connection with dog behavior, cognition, welfare, and learning and training methods
- diverse application examples of dog olfactory capabilities, such as disease detection for diagnostics, infectious disease surveillance, forensics and ecological conservation
