New research has found hunger could affect the accuracy of scent detection dogs – with dogs working for treats more likely to falsely identify a scent when they haven’t eaten.
New international research has found that healthy ecosystems depend on more than just having lots of species – they rely on the complex relationships between plants, prey and predators.
