Behavioral determination of olfactory thresholds to amyl acetate in dogs

The olfactory receptor gene repertoire in primates and mouse: Evidence for reduction of the functional fraction in primates

“…increased olfactory abilities compared with humans (10,24), accurate experiments to compare the olfactory ability between the different primates species remain to be conducted to support our hypothesis. All OR sequences we derived from mouse are potentially coding.…”

How to train a dog to detect cows in heat—Training and success

“…Their dogs were able to detect nAA up to a 20,000-fold lower threshold compared to a study that utilized electro shocks and water deprivation (Krestel et al, 1984). In a previous study, we showed that most studies concerning scent detection work with dogs did not provide sufficient information about training methods, which made it difficult to assess the evidence level of the studies and to compare the results (Johnen et al, 2013).…”

Structure, function and context : the impact of morphometry and ecology on olfactory sensitivity

“…Directly underneath is the lower-resistance region of the lower nasal cavity, which conducts the bulk of the nasal airflow.

“…Operant conditioning has been used in a large number of olfactory threshold studies to elicit reliable responses from a variety of mammals as well as with sea turtles (Table 1, Apfelbach et al, 1998;Dagg and Windsor, 197 1;Dorries et al, 1995;Doty and Ferguson-Segall, 1989;Doty et al, 1998;Krestel et al, 1984;. The technique calls for the subject animal to be reinforced with some positive experience, generally a food reward, immediately upon performance of the correct behavior.…”
