摘要: Abstract The use of dogs for detecting invasive animal species has increased in Japan. Damage to endemic by the Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis) is expanding Ogasawara Islands. We hypothesized that trained recognize anole's odor would be useful detection work. A healthy adult female German shepherd was discriminate odors using a cloth onto which we had transferred frozen body or excrement/urine odor, along with an odorless cloth. After achieving 100% accuracy, she between and same anole. Then dog three-way test among native reptiles achieved accuracy training 27 sessions over 14 days 4 2 days. mean correct search time differed significantly (P 90%. Discrimination sample relatively easy. However, discrimination harder.
