Evidence-based, yet entirely practical, this important new text
builds upon the basics of neuroscience to describe the links
between olfaction and animal behaviour, and the effects of odours
in animal welfare. Animals use smells in a multitude of ways: to
orientate themselves, to create social bonds, to recognise food, to
initiate reproduction, and to avoid predators and imminent threats
such as fire. Starting from the scientific basis of olfaction and
odour perception, the book covers pheromones and behavioural tests,
before describing the role of olfaction in feeding behaviour,
reproduction, disease detection, and animal housing. The book: * is
written in an evidence-based way, yet with an easy-to-understand
style, making it accessible to non-experts * focuses on animals
managed by humans, i.e. farm, zoo, lab and companion species * is
illustrated by in-depth research examples of many different species
This is a captivating introduction to the world of smells, suitable
for advanced students, researchers, and teachers of applied
ethology, animal welfare and veterinary science.
