About this episode
This week we are joined by Dr. Karen DeMatteo, a research scientist from Washington University in St. Louis, who is focused on studying the interactions that occur at the species and community level. Among the many techniques she uses in her research, Dr. DeMatteo uses detection dogs in conservation work across South America & the United States.
We discuss Dr. DeMatteo's research in tracking and studying the elusive bush dog using detection dogs. Learn why detection dogs can be a useful research tool for scientists, how to train them to track these rare animals, and what happens when the scent they're tracking gets mixed with another animal's scent!
