H. Smith's talk on detection dogs

As one of our always excellent department seminar, we had the chance to welcome Heath Smith from University of Washington, Center for Conservation Biology. Heath, together with his dog Chester with whom I became friend during the talk, is working with detection dogs on all sorts of important questions and organisms in conservation biology. Heath then headed to the Pyrénées with Nathalie Espuno to meet with our colleagues from the ONCFS bear (dream)team with whom we’re working on Blaise Piédallu’s PhD. They’re gonna try this technique there, no doubt the results will be of interest for our work on large carnivores!
