Olfactory Research in Dogs
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-39369-3 (ISBN)
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
lt;p>Dr. Lucia Lazarowski is Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Anatomy, Physiology, & Pharmacology at the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine, and Chief Scientist at Auburn University's Canine Performance Sciences. She has 10 years of experience studying olfaction, cognition, and behavior in dogs. Her research focuses on improving the selection, training, and welfare of detection dogs.
