Dogs can detect scat samples more efficiently than humans: an experiment in a continuous Atlantic Forest remnant
Scat-detection dogs have been used to locate feces of rare and elusive species across tropical biomes. However their detection efficiency in relation to human observers has rarely been evaluated. In this study, we evaluated the ability of a scat detection dog to locate feces in comparison with human...
