- W4322007550 abstract "1. Conservation detection dogs (CDD) use their exceptional olfactory abilities to assist a range of conservation projects. CDD are generally quicker, can cover wider areas, and find more samples than humans and other analytical tools. However, their efficacy varies between studies; methodological standardisation in the field is lacking. Considering the cost of deploying a CDD team and the limited financial resources within conservation, it is vital that their performance is quantified and reliable. This review aims to summarise what is currently known about the use of detection dogs in conservation and elucidate which factors affect efficacy. 2. We describe the efficacy of CDD across species and situational contexts like training and field work. Reported sensitivities (i.e., proportion of target samples found out of total available) ranged from 23.8% to 100% and precision rates (i.e., proportion of alerts that are true positives) from 28% to 100%. CDD are consistently shown to be better than other techniques, but performance varies substantially across the literature. There is no consistent difference in efficacy between training, testing, and field work, hence we need to understand the factors affecting this. 3. We highlight the key variables that alter CDD performance. External effects include target odour, training methods, sample management, search methodology and environment, and the CDD handler. Internal effects include dog breed, personality, diet, age, and health. Unfortunately, much of the research fails to provide adequate information on the dogs, handlers, training, experience, and samples. This results in an inability to determine precisely why an individual study has high or low efficacy. 4. It is clear that CDD can be applied to possibly limitless scenarios but moving forward researchers must provide more consistent and detailed methodologies so that comparisons can be conducted, results are more easily replicated, and progress can be made in standardising CDD work." @default.
