Sommario/riassunto: | This book unites cutting-edge research related to various aspects of dog olfaction. It includes rich expertise about detection dogs with application perspectives, and expands beyond. 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 The unique and exciting link between science and practice makes this book a valuable read not only for researchers, but also for practicing veterinarians and professionals in the fields of canine detection, chemical sensing, working dog behavior and welfare. |
