Physical properties of odorants affect behavior of trained detection dogs during close-quarters searches

Abstract Trained detection dogs have a unique ability to find the sources of target odors in complex fluid environments. How dogs derive information about the source of an odor from an odor plume comprised of odorants with different physical properties, such as diffusivity, is currently unknown. Two...
